An enjoyable reference of Pride and Prejudice, Jane Eyre,and Wuthering Heights. If you haven’t read these books, you may have seen the film adaptations of them. If not either way this book is for you. The author gives a synopsis of each book that is insightful and humorous. Her wit and at times sarcasm, color her reviews making it an enjoyable read. Although I enjoyed her view of Wuthering Heights, (a high death count most of it due to a ‘Mysterious Victorian Disease’), I still do not like this book.

She goes on to discuss the adaptations of each book in film, rating each one. Having seen possibly every adaption of Pride and Prejudice and Jane Eyre, I found her views very entertaining. I agree about Colin Firth and Timothy Dalton.

I recommend this book to any high school student to help understand these classics and to anyone who is curious or just wants an overview.… (más)

Yes, I actually read one of those dinosaur, semi-erotic stories. Finally. I’ve tried a few in the past to see why they were becoming a thing, but I don’t think I finished any. Jurassic Jane Eyre isn’t one I DNF’d. I actually enjoyed what I read.

I think the main reason I enjoyed this story was because it didn’t take itself seriously. The author wrote a pretty good story, while letting the character narrate the ridiculous situation as if she were just as baffled by what she was getting into.

I also thought that it touched on sexuality in a good way, even if it was brief (it was a short story after all. Can’t elaborate too much in a few thousand words.) It was just enough to hint that the stories this was parodying might not be portraying homosexuality (at least most of them deal with non-straight relations) in a more truthful light, despite the fact that it’s also a dino-human relationship.

I’d check out other stories from this author for sure. For a few minute escape, and some good laughs, it was definitely worth checking out. I also thought the addition of the “Science Disclaimer”, which pointed out all the inaccuracies in the story, added even more to the experience.… (más)
