Broke the chain of connection to the story after a long hiatus from reading this. Wasn't that impressionable either.

This book was just so-so  I took a long break from it and now I am too bored to continue. 

Greenwich Park

It's not as good as the reviews states. I kind of can guess the rest of the story but even if I am wrong about it, I wish not to continue it's really boring.

The Phantom of the Opera

Gaston Leroux

I think I could have finished this if I gave it more time and peace but it's so slow I gave in after having this in progress for months. I would may be re-read this again but I know the ending already so no promises there.

For the Wolf

I wanted to continue this book but unfortunately the writing style was not for me. Had I been 10 more years younger I probably would have liked it but the writing style seemed too forced. Like the imagery and symbolism of the color red was pasted all over the story. I understand it is not easy creating a spin off with an existing fairy tale I believe the storyline so far was really good and had formidable foundation and interesting story line. However the writing style how this was presented was unfortunately was not my style.
