Book Reviews of The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow
Book Review: It didn't go beyond cute
Summary: 2 Stars
Yes, I love Ichabod Crane. He is cute and quirky and Washington Irving does an efficient job in garnering sympathy for the plot's protagonist. And I hoped for his best as he tried desperately to escape the woes of the Headless Hessian and win the heart of Katrina. But that's the only positive I saw in this short story.
The whole plot never went beyond lethargic and boring. And this wasn't because of the time period as this time period inspired future horror writer Edgar Allen Poe. The town's name is a good representation of what goes on in this town. And the grand jerk of the story, Brom Bones, wasn't depicted as the truly evil and seductive man out to ruin everyone and benefit only himself. He wasn't the fun guy everyone loves to hate. In fact, if I were him, I would have at least been feeling the same feelings he was. The writing style wasn't impressive and I really wasn't at the edge of my seat. I honestly wanted effective suspense with short syntax and frigtening diction, as Poe and Hawthorne do so effectively in their works. I haven't seen the movie yet, but it must be an improvement since it has Johnny Depp and special effects to replace the lacking substance within the plot.
