The Meaning of Night: A Confession Audiobook

" Beautifully written--it has great tension. The narrative voice is extremely strong, and the plot is excellent. "

" This was a pretty good book - but long, and I could guess what was going to happen before it did - a little too drawn out for my taste, but a fun read. "

" Great, great, great book. I loved it from beginning to end. Great story line, great characters...really good. "

" So.......I dont even know what to say. I dont want to totally bash this book, Im sure that somebodyc could fall completely in love with this book....someone with a lot more patience than me. First of all, I LOVE victorian novels..l.LOVE them. When I first heard about this book I was really excited and bought it right away. The author does a great job with the histor and facts of the Victorian age, but seroiosly half this book could have been cut out. The author just went on and on and on. I felt that I wasted part of my life reading this book. Im not saying dont read it, Im just saying this book def was not for me. I will not be reading any other books from this author. "

" Amazing until the end :( "

" a very slow go of a book. I couldn't get past the first 150 pages...but once I did, I realized that it was all neccesary. I ended up loving this book. So many connections and twists made in the book. Loved it. If I ever read it again....I may just lightly read the first 150 :-) "

" Another Victorian mystery. LOVE IT! "

" Slow start but after a while couldn't put it down! "

" I ultimately ended up liking this book but it had a slow start for me and about a third of it could have been edited out. The story is captivating but just as I was getting really into it, it would drag and I would plod along until the next great part. A worthwhile read none-the-less. "

" FREAKING AMAZING. Long winded at times but this man (who is unfortunately deceased) was an amazing writer. I have found he is the one of the very few authors that can capture love and passion into words on a page and make me think "yes, that's exactly it!" "

" neo victorian escapist fiction at it's finest. "

" It was a page turner. It had an excellent sense of the time it was set in, and even though I avoid Victorian literature like the plague, I got into the rhythm of the language very quickly. "

" maybe even 4.5 "

" (sigh) It was clear that the writer had done his research, and was passionate about it; and, the story line was complex, but ... about midway through the book, I started to guess the ending ... and so it was. Disappointing. "

" Took me forever to get into this... Sadly. So clever! Labyrinthine, fascinating, and then page-turnery by the end. Really enjoyed it. "

" I don't read many historical novels, but I enjoyed this one very much. I enjoyed the character development, as well as trying to out guess where the story would take me. "

" good read...reminds me of a tale of two cities "

" Set in Victorian London, you can see the plot's eventual end from a mile away. "

" waaaaay too much detail. "

" I actually did not finish this book, it was too boring! "

" Marvelous time travel to 19th century England. "

" Revenge is a dish best served cold: A school boy rift continues for two decades involving stalking, betrayal, secret identities, and murder. "

" The story itself was intriquing, but it was very drawn out (the book was 700 pages). I would only recommend it if you have the patience and like longer books. "

" I really enjoyed this book, it was well written and dark. Reminiscent of Dickens, but without the morality. "

" So very much like Dickens... I loved it! "

" Didn't like it at all! "

" Enjoyable tale in the style of Wilkie Collins, though a bit more graphic. The Meaning of Night is a quest/revenge story with interesting hooks and characters. It's also pleasantly unpredictable. Loses a star for rambling a bit more than is necessary - could have been a crisp 500 pages. "

" Anyone who enjoys Victorian era fiction should love this thing. It's got tons of suspense, romance, thrills and great characters. Puts you right in the 19th century with rich details of what it's like to live in the times. Highly recommended!! "

" Simply put, not my cup of tea. "

" I read the Glass of Time (sequel) and I think, for me that was the best move... "

" The story had an intriguing premise and an interesting hero, but I only read about 150 pages before giving up. I'll be picking this up in the future to see if I can actually finish it. The cover is really pretty to look at in person though, it's what first led me to check it out in the first place. "
