does the Thirteenth Tale get any better?
I'm about a chapter in and I find it pretty tedious so far. Vita is coming across as very imperious and unappealing. It's relevant to note that I am listening to an audio book as I cannot read print...

Well, I am about a third of the way through now, and although I'm not hooked, I am interested.

Unfortunately, I did not join the reading group when we were reading this here. ... but if I remember correctly, most people liked it.
View ArticleRe: does the Thirteenth Tale get any better?
I quite liked it. I read it in about 3 days. But I don't know about listening to it on audio. Maybe the narrator would affect the story. I think what kept me interested was not really knowing who was...

Wll, I wasn't crazy about it. For me, the only saving grace was Aurelias (hope I am spelling his name correctly). I was none too impressed with Margaret, although Vita Winters got much better. I would...

Sublimosa, it may not be that switching to audio ruined Scarpetta for you. I know a lot of serious readers who loved that series in the first several books and won't even touch it now. It's gone...

Karen,The series has definitely gone downhill, but that started before I had to switch to audio. I think it started around Unnatural Exposure, and just keeps getting worse. I continue to read in the...

Well, this is a horrible thing to say but someone on another board made the comment that the series went downhill at the same time the author was diagnosed as bi-polar and began taking medication for...

Karen,I didn't know about her diagnosis. If it is true, that certainly explains a lot. unfortunate for those of us who enjoyed her books, but hopefully she is benefitting from the meds. Thanks for the...

Did you ever read her book on Jack the Ripper? I can't remember the exact title right now but it should be easy to find on Amazon. That was a pretty good one -- nonfiction and well presented.Karen

No, I didn't read it. My sister read it and said it was very circular and that she kept restating the same things over and over. I might have to check it out just to see who is right. = )

I may have felt that way at the time and just don't remember; it's been a long time and my memory isn't what it used to be.Karen

Quote:Interesting that in print, the reader doesn't know who is doing the flashback. In the audio version (at least the one I listened to), the flashbacks are spoken in Vita Winters' voice. I never...

Ha! Well, it seems my opinion hasn't changed with the second reading! At least this time, I know what the Jane Eyre connection is! I honestly think that some of the audiobook was missing when I read...

I don't know what to say about The Thirteenth Tale. I started to read it when it was first published but got side-tracked by something else. And then a post on the board revealed the ending, which...
View ArticleRe: does the Thirteenth Tale get any better?
I hate when that happens! I rarely check out reviews before I read a book because they so often give out too much information and semi-spoil the book. I was reading a thread somewhere (not here)...
