This was written by an old college chum of mine. It was dreadful. I don't know how he managed to get a movie deal with Dustin Hoffman as one of the main characters.

I am just so disappointed in how light this book has been made that I had to take a break. I should have seen it coming with all the complaints there were from the movie and musical fans about Elphie. The book should have stayed true to the original writing style of the series, not changed for commercial value.

Another book for my A Year of Brontë. I am going to presumptively say that Shirley is my my second favorite book of Charlotte's after Jane Eyre. Villette was okay, but it had too much romance in it for me, and The Professor was just dreadful writing. My gut feeling about The Professor is that her husband had more of a hand in the writing of it than just editing her last draft after her death.

Liis and I are going to be buddy reading this for its "connection" to Jane Eyre. It's the book that gives people the idea that Edward Rochester was cruel. How a book written without the consent of an author, based on one of their novels, that completely changes the character of a main character, and reasons for events in said book, can be considered a prequel is beyond me. Because it is set in Jamaica and the author is of Dominican descent it qualifies for my Caribbean-American Heritage Month reading.

Prompt for April, A Book Set in Massachusetts New York State, completed!
As I mentioned in my 2026 Challenges post in January, I planned to change the Massachusetts prompt to New York. I read Thirty-Three Cecils which was primarily set in NYS with a lot of it taking place in my hometown, Binghamton.
What are you reading? Tell me!
