Pleased it amused you, Polly! It was a great choice and I really enjoyed writing about it.

Ooh, the Marquise and the Vicomte really do deserve the guillotine don’t they. Loved hearing your thoughts at the bookgroup and your review made me giggle quite a bit at my desk.

Thanks, Ana .

You didn’t have to post tonight! I was just recommending Dangerous Liaisons for future writing; I know that you too are a fan of the epistolary novel.

*apparently I have lost a number of comments made over the last few days (these can be viewed still on my Blogger account). Apologies.

I’m with Jenny on Cruel Intentions I don’t really know why I even saw that, lol. I’ll keep the PROPER movie in mind, though, as well as the book! Seriously, you had me at “epistolary”. This sounds just like the kind of classic I’ve been in the mood for this year.

PS: LOVE the new blog!

The great thing about talking about the book is that it has made me see why others could love it so much. I have almost forgotten about how much the text annoyed me now – reading everyones reviews has made me see that the plot is good – it is just a shame I didn't enjoy it more.

Great review, Claire. You clearly loved this one more than me. Strangely, I've grown more fond of it now that I've thought about it and read everyone's reviews. (I had initially thought about giving it 2 stars out of five.)

Not something I've yet read; the film seems to have more prominence but I've not seen that either.

I enjoyed this book but I've never seen any movie version of it, though I've heard good things about at least two films of it.

…Um, but I did see Cruel Intentions. It was totally ridiculous.

Loving both epistolary novels and the 1988 movie, I'm rather shocked that I haven't gotten around to reading this one yet. How remiss of me. Onto the TBR list it goes.
