The Secret Adventures of Charlotte Bronte Audiobook

" I started reading this book thinking it was a biography of Charlotte Bronte and realized it was a fictional account. I read it anyway and liked most of the book. There were times where I couldn't put it down, but there were a couple parts that could have been left out. However, towards the last quarter of the book. "I kept thinking....Is this book every going to end?" For the most part, I did like this book, but it won't be a book I reread. "

" This was a fun book to read if you are a Bronte sister fan. At times it was hard for me to separate what I know is truth with the fiction, overall it was a fun and engaging read. "

" A fun little book for people who like mysteries and romantic literature. It was the perfect read for a plane. Light and with good details from the period. "

" I always suspected that there was more adventure in the life of the Bronte sisters than has been revealed ... Rowland's novel satisfies the vicarious desire to give Charlotte some really rousing adventures! "

" Rowland imagines that Charlotte finds herself caught up in spying for the Crown. She draws on Britain's troubled relationship with China to create suspense. However, the romantic scenes with a male agent were a bit lurid for my tastes. It was okay. "

" I really liked this book, I couldn't put it down. A very expressive mystery set in Victorian times, yet without the archaic language. "

" I read this historical fiction because I'm a big fan of "Jane Eyre". Very entertaining and I will keep my eye out for more books by this author. "

" Loved this, but it's right in my wheelhouse: historical fiction that is, in actuality, an alternate universe. That it's also a mystery/thriller is just icing on the cake. "

" Pretty far-fetched but it had some exciting moments. "

" If you like a good mystery/suspense and the Bronte's, you'll love this book! "

" Tres bon ... and so much fun to read. Makes me want to re-read Jane Eyre ... "

" Great book, I'm a huge fan of the Bronte sisters. "

" told very much in the style of Charlotte Bronte. a fun read "

" CB as an adventuress instead of prim writer of prose. Imaginative and fun. A page turner I loved escaping into;) "

" This was a really fun read - I enjoyed it. Makes you wish Charlotte could have had a happier ending, however! "

" Another book that had me yelling at the heroine. Why do they make such stupid decisions? But mildly enjoyable. "

" I really enjoyed this novel. It had adventure, interesting characters, and an unexpected ending. Plus, I love anything with the Brontes. "

" what a great read! Charlotte Bronte makes a funny and interesting main character! "

" Charlotte was realy dense about a lot of things. Definitely a "popcorn" or beach read. "

" Less than impressed by this novel. The premise was good, but the writing was clunky and the overall execution was poor. A pity, because better writing (and the dropping of a couple sex scenes) could have made this a real winner. "

" Really enjoyed this change of pace from Shinju, but will continue that series anyway. "

" It started out slow, but it turned into a really fun romp! Laura Joh Rowland must have had a lot of fun writing this book; I really enjoyed it. "

" I really liked this book, I couldn't put it down. A very expressive mystery set in Victorian times, yet without the archaic language. "

" Another book that had me yelling at the heroine. Why do they make such stupid decisions? But mildly enjoyable. "

" So this was a pretty quick read...a lighthearted book that puts Charlotte Bronte and her sisters on to a murder mystery, espionage, saving the royal family....I enjoyed it. For me, it was something quick and light to read after reading The Book Thief. "

" A fun and informative read!!! "

" after reading the prolouge I couldn't even get through the first few chapters. It was a rather poor excuse for Bronte language. "

" I should know by now that none can match Charlotte Bronte herself, this was a fictionalized account of a far-fetched mystery involving the real Brontes. The writing lacked the subtleties of any of the actual Bronte sisters. "
