The Lake of Dead

Pages: 432
Published: 2005

4.5 out of 5
This is the second
time reading this novel. I still love Goodman, but I lowered my rating by ½ a
star. This is due to the fact that throughout the many years since originally
reading it I have discovered many great novels – also many not-so-great ones. I love the literary quality of her novels,
however after the redundancy of the private school setting with prestigious and
unique courses of study – it can become overkill. She has recently written her first young adult
novel and continues to maintain her superb writing style. Her novels are always
full of twists, turns, and surprise revelations and then some not so surprising
ones. I have read every one of her
novels, even those written under Juliet Dark, and hope to see her return to the
gothic/suspense genre and leave the fantasy
style behind.
