![]() I did love how she brought out Henry and Eleanor's beautiful brother-sister friendship. She did a pretty good job but not a great job as I felt she did with some of her other books. My main problem with it would be that I never felt like she quite captured Henry's "voice". He's fun, he's hilarious, he's got snark galore and did I mention hilarious? He also loves reading, loves his sister, is kind, discerning and willing to tell the hard truth.Īmanda Grange does a pretty good job of brining this delightful hero back. I think I could most see myself a Henry Tilney though. ![]() Henry Tilney is one of my very favorite Austen heroes. But just as in the Gothic novels Henry loves, not everything is as it seems. When the General takes an unusual liking to Catherine and invites her to visit the Abbey, Henry is thrilled. ![]() During a trip to Bath, Henry meets the delightful Miss Catherine Morland and believes he may have found the woman he's been looking for, although she has no great fortune. But General Tilney is determined to increase the family's means by having all three of his children marry wealthy partners. ![]() At the age of four and twenty, Henry is content with his life as a clergyman, leaving his older brother Frederick to inherit Northanger Abbey. Synopsis from Goodreads: A charming retelling of Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey-a tale of gothic misunderstandings through Henry Tilney's eyes. ![]() For the Shelf Love Challenge and the Mount TBR Pile challenge I read Amanda Grange's novel Henry Tilney's Diary. ![]()

Following his debut in Alan Moore’s “Swamp Thing,” Constantine was given his own Vertigo series, “Hellblazer,” in 1988, a series that is still running to this day. ![]() Even if you haven’t, though, odds are pretty high that you have heard of a certain John Constantine. Surely, by this point all of our readers have acquired and read every volume of this amazing run by now, right? I thought so. It has been over a year since I recommended Alan Moore’s “Swamp Thing” in this very column. ![]() |
