Here is what people are saying about the Fingersmith
4 Star Rating  "Wonderful Book--But Where's the Human Connection?"2009-11-13
- Reviewed By kschelberg2
I should have loved this book, it has everything--wonderful atmospherics, beautiful written language, well defined characters, and plot (and plot twists) out the wazoo! My wife finished this book, and loved it so much, she immediately went out and bought all of Sarah Waters' other books.

I admired this book, I was impressed by it, I understood the praised heaped on it, but I didn't love it--for one reason: There was no character I really cared about, no character I rooted for, no character that touched me, no character that emotionally drew me in. Each of the characters (every single one) was shown as selfish, weak, immoral, cowardly or flawed in some respect. I couldn't sympathize for those characters who were treated badly by life, as each was shown to have their own questionable motives. As such, I felt myself the outsider, much like passing a car accident on a distant highway--interested enough to look, but not really touched by the fate of the passengers.

All of this having been said, this is a well written book, a fun read, a wild ride--although without the human connection, without the emotional connection, one I suspect I will quickly forget.
 
5 Star Rating  "So good, you need to read it twice"2009-11-11
- Reviewed By User: A11Y8PM76LUF43
This is the quasi-Dickensian story of two girls, two proud lilies, ensnared in briar thorns. Girls treated like rare books whose covers hide a multitude of neatly-catalogued sins - a pair of complementary titles, indeed. The plot is deep, dark, twisting and treacherous, like the river that runs through it.

This novel is so wonderfully-constructed it needs to be read twice to fully-appreciate it, there are so many themes and details to absorb.
 
4 Star Rating  "well worth the read !"2009-11-06

This was our book club choice. Some of us liked it immensely and some others were bogged down by the style and language. I think it is well worth the read and would recommend it.
 
4 Star Rating  "Another great read from Ms. Sarah Waters!"2009-10-05
- Reviewed By User: A2M4Q1MAE81MDB
Sarah Waters never dissapoints. She has a profound way of describing her characters with such amazing imagery that you can't help but feel like you know them. Very few authors grab my attention to the extreme that she does - I can't seem to get enough of her writing style!

I ordered Affinity and can't wait to dive in! I definitely recommend this book, it has moved up on my list of faves... it's right up there with Ms. Water's Tipping the Velvet.
 
5 Star Rating  "Entirely Original, Boldly Inventive, and Monumentally Entertaining."2009-09-27
- Reviewed By merrymurderess
Without a doubt, I can say that this ranks within my top 5 fictional novels of all time. It offers an intricate and deep plot, unexpected twists, and unlikely romance, and several truly interesting and compelling characters. Each of these elements is greatly accentuated by Sarah Waters beautiful writing style and utter mastery of the English language. Every sentence seems to be poetic and almost lyrical. I find that I sometimes get ahead of myself when reading it because I am so eagerly awaiting the next paragraph. I don't think any other book has held my attention as strongly or for as long a time as 'Fingersmith' did.
Yes, the book is long, but you'll not be able to put it down once you've begun reading.
 
5 Star Rating  "Riveting"2009-09-03
- Reviewed By User: A165SAZZONY1P4
This is a fabulous, riveting book that moves at a good clip. I am a slow reader if I am not inspired by what I am reading. This had me turning pages faster than I ever have and I finished it in recored time. My only slight criticism is the last 40 pages were a bit dull compared to the previous 540! It could have ended sooner and with more impact.
