dknippling 's review for:

The Mysteries of Udolpho by Ann Radcliffe

3.0

---

Not to my tastes; it was wordy yet passive--our heroine doesn't have a lot to do here other than react, then change her reaction based on updated information. And cry. There are a lot of tears in this book, my friend. But people have obviously been stealing tropes here, from Jane Austen to Scooby Doo, so I can't regret that I read it.
