Sleep Pale Sister. As dreamy and ethereal as its title, as ghostly sweet as the cover art promises, that is Harris’ beautifully told gothic master piece. Read it and agree with me ( )

I put this down after 100 pages. It just didn't grab me, unfortunately. ( )

Masterful! One of my favorite writers of all time. ( )

This was not my favourite of Joanne Harris' books. I found it readable but the main character was not my favourite.

It's one of her earlier novels, and it's written in a sort of neo-gothic style, which I thought was interesting but I wasn't really sure I liked. It's a pretty angsty book and I remember it being pretty morbid.

I think the biggest problem I had with it is that the main character is male, and most of Joanne Harris' main characters are female. I found it a bit slow in places, and while it was cohesive it just wasn't my favourite of hers.

But, after reviewing a few of Harris' books that I read, I'd love to read some more of her work again soon. ( )

One aspect of this book that I liked was the way [a:Joanne Harris|9432|Joanne Harris|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1251452384p2/9432.jpg] used tarot cards as section headings in her book. I was fortunate to read the bulk of this book on a plane where I wasn't constantly interrupted by life. It helped me to understand the story a bit better.

This is another one of [a:Joanne Harris|9432|Joanne Harris|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1251452384p2/9432.jpg]'s mystical or ethereal novels. It wasn't one of my favorites. I enjoyed [b:Blackberry Wine|15101|Blackberry Wine A Novel|Joanne Harris|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166670084s/15101.jpg|876908] and [b:Chocolat better. I just didn't get the point of the story. It was a little too obscure for me especially at the end.

author:Joanne Harris]'s writing style is great. Her phraseology is great. I just wish I had a guide so I could understand the underlying notion of this book. ( )
