Castle in the Air | Donald E. Westlake

3.0⭐️

This wasn‘t my favorite read and it took me a while to get through but I‘m really happy I gave this a chance. I‘ve been wanting to explore older books and different types of crime novels since paranormal noir is one of my favorite genres. The craziness of the end of this book was hilarious to see and I was honestly surprised with who ended up with the money.

JenlovesJT47 If you like old crime novels this one is really good. The first one in the Hard Case Crime series. Nothing supernatural but I loved it!

I am osolating between so-so and a light pick. This was a struggle for me. It took me almost 2 months to read. But I can see why people are charmed by it. It feels like another book that I should have read in my late teens early 20s to get the full pleasure and nostalgia for. But in my mid-40s it just feels a bit too forced, I didn't like Cassandra and the only person I really cared for was Stephen. Poor Stephen.

📖 Warwick Castle [souvenir guide - not in Litsy]

I have lots of souvenir guides to places in the UK that I've never visited. I believe I even have two different editions of this one. Have I mentioned that I'm an Anglophile bibliophile?

This book was delightful! Oh to be young and silly again and have your whole life ahead of you! And who doesn‘t want to live in a castle with an eccentric family surrounded by nature?!?!?!? I found a lot of this book to be amusing but especially the shenanigans on the train! Hilarious! 💙💙💙💙💙

TheKidUpstairs Beautiful edition! 2mo

#BookReport

Only 2 finished last week. I read the tagged book after seeing it recommended on a Parnassus Books video. It sounds like it is a much loved coming of age story. I did enjoy it but didn‘t love it.

I also enjoyed the Pride & Prejudice continuation by McLeod.

ChaoticMissAdventures I am reading this because of that video too! I am only a third of the way in and agree with you, it is okay. 2mo

monalyisha I‘m part of the “much-love” camp! 2mo

ChaoticMissAdventures @monalyisha did you read it as a youngster? I have this theory on books like this. I feel like if I had read this in my teens/20s I would have gotten so much more out of it. 2mo

monalyisha Hmm…late 20‘s. I think I was 27. I was thoroughly charmed. I thought it was quirky and cozy, with a strong setting and thoughtful spiritual ruminations. The movie, on the other hand? Blech. 2mo
