1: A well-told tale
The Thirteenth Tale was a splendidly delicious story with a beginning, a middle, and an end, just like Vida Winter said. It was an enthralling page turner. There were intriguing and creepy characters and overall, I was captivated and enjoyed it immensely. If you like reading to escape into a really good old fashioned (creepy) tale, this is the one! The plot twists and turns kept me going throughout. I will say, though, that I thought the side slight storyline of the co-joined twin of the biographer was weak, not so interesting, and didn't add to the novel overall. Still, in all, I loved it and would recommend The Thirteenth Tale to anyone who loves to read for variety.

2: SLOW, SLUGGISH & TEDIOUS
The narrator's personal story was boring & tedious, & became "filler" to the supposedly real story of the reclusive writer. I did stick with it to the end by speed reading over the repetitive stuff (and there's a lot)but I wouldn't do it again. Ultimately the story just wasn't much of a mystery or interesting.

3: Loved This Book
I found myself sucked into Diane Setterfield's dark and gothic world. Sure, many of the characters are strange and unbelievable but that's what the book is all about. The truth is boring...so why not just tell a good ghost story instead?

4: The Thirteenth Tale
Very well written book -- original and compelling story, characters and subplot. I loaned my 1st copy to friends and never got it back, so I bought a 2nd copy to read again!

5: A MUST Read
Incredible book full of twists, turns, and surprises. Very satisfying. Upon finishing, one of those books that stays with you for days...
