A review by craigpartain
The Romance of the Forest by Ann Radcliffe

3.0

I liked the first half of this book a lot. It was very suspenseful, very gripping. But it starts losing steam about halfway through, and completely changes gears around the 75% mark, and ditches suspense for philosophical rumination. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, I can live with that, but then these soap opera level coincidences start piling up and they were just too much for me.
