I have been waiting to read this book since I read The Prince (Jan &#8216;06). I loved that so much that I immediately set my sights on the only other book under this name.
Alas, The Linnet does not live up to The Prince&#8217;s standard.

Coming out of Beyond Heaving Bosoms, I naturally wanted to indulge in some of the best/worst of the genre. I swapped for this book a short while ago and figured it was as good a place to start as any.

Then Hollywood got their hands on it. And THEY RAPED IT.

I&#8217;m trying to be good, really I am. But 50 pages out of 170 isn&#8217;t such a bad run&#8230;

 I give up. I quit. I want nothing more to do with this torturous mess.

Rating: Goddamn.
Just&#8230; goddamn.  I saw this at Strand Books and spent MONTHS hemming and hawing over whether or not I should put my money toward it.
Pro: It&#8217;s a book from the 1800s about a werewolf in the 1500s. HOT DAMN it&#8217;s historical fiction^2 with a shot of supernatural!

This was recommended to me for my senior capstone project. I dutifully made it to the end, but gawd was it painful. Exemplifies all that I hate in a certain kind of writing, usually seen in short stories. Only this was longer. Unjustifiably so, in my opinion.

Gentle readers, it is a sad day for my bookshelf. I am usually very good about finishing the books I pick up, I hate stopping partway, unless they&#8217;re really trash. Even when something becomes mediocre, I see it through, if only to see how bad it gets.

Guest Review by Sreya
Read Shen&#8217;s review here. 
For the time being (the duration of this review) I&#8217;ll be taking over for Shen &#8212; no rotten tomatoes, please! &#8212; and I&#8217;ll be reviewing a novel that she lent me. She reviewed it herself, so I guess this is simultaneous.
