A review by astheplotthickens24
The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue by Mackenzi Lee

5.0

I love this book so much, it hurts to even breathe!
First of all, can we just talk about the actual gentleman on the cover? I mean, look at that gorgeous face, it will put the golden ratio to shame and take down Leonardo Da Vinci’s divine proportion with it!

*insert Taylor Swift’s Gorgeous track here*

I swear to Zeus, you could literally see me vomiting sunshine, rainbows and unicorns while listening to the audio of this book. The narrator’s voice was just plain awesome, he really brought Monty to life and I could tell you guys that not many human beings could do that. I think my body even emitted glitters and flowers while I’m at it. I believe Christian Coulson is the name of the story teller on this one and he did a hell of a job animating it inside the reader’s mind.

CHARACTERS

Henry “Monty” Montague

- is like the Sun, he thinks that everything revolves around him, that the world would stop if he was feeling upset. He was pompous, arrogant and sometimes an idiot, but he also provides warmth, he can make someone feel special by just talking to that particular person; the same thing that the sun could make us feel better by providing light to each and everyone of us regardless of who are. He may not be someone that close minded people would deemed to be a worthy main character but this story would be useless without him. The same way that the solar system would be worthless without the sun.

Percy Newton

- this guy is like the Earth, he’s like a magnetic field that keeps everyone intact and he provides a common ground when there’s an argument going on. He’s got this unfathomable calmness when it comes to panicky ordeals and I love him for that. HE IS A GEM!

Felicity Montague

- god forbid me, I love this girl! The closest thing that comes into my mind when I think of her is Venus. All the planets in the solar system revolves the same direction as the Earth except for Venus and Felicity is exactly like that; she refuses to take the route that everyone was keen of her to go and I admire the shit out of her. Her will is as strong as the Jupiter's gravitational pull (which could crush a human into pulp in seconds) and she’s so badass! Henry and Percy would have been long dead without her. Lol
