Average Rating:
 Rating:  - FantasticThis is not the genre of books that I usually read but I was hooked from the first page. The quality of Phillip Pullman's writing meant that I was instantly transported to firstly Victorian London, then Razkavia, a country that I almost feel patriotic about. I now look forward to reading the preceeding three Sally Lockhart books. Rating:  - I have to say I'm dissappointed with this oneBefore I start. I have to say the first three Sally Lockhart books (especially 2 and 3) were absolutly excellent (although I almost refused to read 3 after Phillip Pullmans choice of fate for certain main character!) However after having read The Tiger in the Well (which I struggled to put down) I settled down to The Tin Princess waiting to find out more about the excellent character of Mr Goldberg. Unfortunatly before I had finsihed the first couple of chapters he'd gone off to America taking Miss Lockhart with him! I really had to force myself through the remainder of the book I'm sorry to say. The plot about mysterious brother the kept me interested enough to finish it but I think the most trying thing about it was how awful ... Read More: Rating: - A Ruritanian romance for modern readersAnd by "Modern Readers" I mean all those sillys who can't be bothered to try and keep up with old-fashioned prose because they are too desperate to get to the action. Let me assure you from the start that getting to the action will not be a problem in THIS book. On the contrary, the novel opens with a bomb going off in a London suburb. Becky Winter, hired to teach the "lady of the house" reading, writing and German is not a little surprised that her new employers are a target for anarchists, but she is even more surprised when she finds out that said employer is Crown Prince Rudolf of Razkavia, her native country. Little larger than an English county, it lies between two political giants of late 19th-century Europe: Germany and Austria ... Read More: Rating:  - retardedThis book was so darn stupid and boring. I have not read the trilogy, but I already know that its not worth reading. I don't see how it even got published. The only reason that I read the entire book was so that I can talk about the worst book that I have read. Rating: - Good story, but where's the ending??I really enjoyed reading the previous 3 Sally Lockhart novels, and knew that this one didn't centre around her, and for the most of it, I really enjoyed the story. It was nice to meet Adelaide again as she was an important character in the first novel, but the ending distressed me! I couldn't believe it ended quite so abrubtly and in the manner it did. I'm a sucker for happy endings anyway, (no matter how predictable) and in a sense it was a happy ending for Adelaide, but Becky! What becomes of her? Will there be a follow up to this story? So much is still unanswered! |
