Book Reviews of House of the Spirits

Book Review: Beautiful but tragic
Summary: 4 Stars

This book is strange, ethereal, beautifully written and occasionally laugh-out-loud funny (in a macabre sort of way). It gallops from scene to scene, moving through other-worldly amusement, beautiful girls with green hair, table-tipping ghosts, romance and adventure to horror in the real world. A terrific read. It's ultimately optimistic but definitely not for the faint-hearted.
