viktoriya 's review for:
Zelda's Cut
by Philippa Gregory
Whoa....This was one the most bizarre books I've read in a while. The double identity, secret life, mysterious illness that seems to just disappear overnight, fraud that can be seen from miles away...and the ending that makes you say "WTF!?!?!". There is so much going on here...To be honest the idea of literally shedding your own life and be someone else for a while seemed very appealing to me. And I really liked the way Philippa Gregory made the transformation of Isobel into Zelda. Then enters Troy, the weird one. Not sure it was really necessary to make him that way (sorry, trying to be vague here) The book is full of sexual desire, tension, unfilled promises, and yet it's not filled with erotica to the point of being nauseous. A big plus here. I had problems picturing all characters as Brits. For some reasons they were very non-British to me (aside from drinking tea once in a while). And I don't even know how to describe the last 10 or so chapters. Talking about crashing end...Whoa...
