The House of the Spirits, Isabel Allende


The House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende is something I read about in a New York Times book review.

Recommendation: Not Recommended
Recommended By: NYT

Review:

I really dislike long drawn-out descriptions of torture.  Add to this a man who is run by a murderous temper and it is hard to like this book.  There are no characters I liked and several for whom I felt sorry.  I walked away with no lessons learned.  The book was well written and the plot was well developed.  I just didn't like it.
