The feeling you get when you finally find that elusive 1st edition hard cover of a book that completes your collection of a specific author.

There's a lot more going on in "Benighted" than I caught the first time I read it. This time, beneath the gothic elements I was previously distracted by, and which still work marvellously, is an allegory on English post-war society, the rottenness of the class system and the aristocracy, coupled to a demonstration of the levelling and humanising effect of meeting others openly and honestly.
I upped my rating to 5 well-deserved stars.

"Gin is saddening," Penderel admitted, "but it's not so saddening as no gin." ?

'Tis a dark and stormy night at Bookwomble Towers, so just the right atmosphere to settle down with a whisky and re-read Priestley's classic old, dark house chiller 💀

First chapter was enough for me. No....just no.... Wasn‘t at all digging the writing style or the story. What I can‘t believe is how The Art of War (which I listened to before this) was way more enjoyable than this😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵

This book was okay...I love off-beat stuff, but there was too much talk about killing animals. I did love this poem at the beginning.

I came here from the movie with one motivating question: what's Morgan's Deal?? But this book kept throwing ableism and racism at me and doesn't even look to have the good grace to answer my damn question! I'm outta here!
