Look at me finishing another book. Yay me. Go me! Unfortunately, it took me a good two weeks to read an incredibly short book. But, it could be worse. Anyway…
During a really quick trip to the library, I spotted Wilkie Collins: A Brief Life on the shelf and grabbed it. This was not the kind of book I should have been choosing (which is why it took me weeks to read it) but I did because I love Wilkie Collins.
To be clear, I love “The Woman in White” and I have a complicated (ahem) relationship with “The Moonstone.” I’ve read TWiW multiple times and would love to read it again. (In fact, while I was reading this book I decided I should LISTEN to TWiW on audio because I’ve never done that. Hi TW, sorry… lol.)
This biography was… good. Not great. It was a little dry and I’m not sure the author really likes Collins very much. (Weird, right?) Whatever. I enjoyed it. (And, besides listening to TWiW on audio, I’m going to spend some time reading all of Collins’ books — I’m surprised by how many I haven’t read at all.)
