Reviews

Lodore: Pretty Good


(3.5 stars)

The readers do a solid job here, although it would be nice of they were consistent about pronunciations of the title and main characters. All read clearly and most enunciate well. I am grateful they have done this lesser-known work of Mary Shelley. If you are interested in the Willstonecraft-Shelley-Godwin family saga or in the depiction of women in 19c literature you will find it rewarding... But it's not as strange and compelling as Matilda or as intense as the Last Man. MWS was a genius but this is one of her less notable works.

oh the drama! the pathos!


(1 stars)

Interminable blithering on by M Shelley who never says in one sentence what she can ramble on about for 20 pages. I assume her editor hung himself after getting the manuscript. The typical story of the honorable nobleman marrying a pure young beauty and being forced to leave her and flee to America due to complicated misunderstandings. Etc etc . Readers good to very good. misunderstandings.
