Lorna Doone by R.D. Blackmore
3.0
Lorna Doone is a book I can't wrap my head around. While it's heavily based on plot and has very underdeveloped characters, I still enjoyed the reading experience of it. It is atmospheric and the plot twists made the story dramatic and eventful. John Ridd as a narrator is endearing one and his love for Lorna is the only strong feeling he has. Lorna, then again, is more like a symbol of pureness and goodness instead of a real character. Writing wise Lorna Doone is very descriptive and dense which makes the book quite a slog to get through. Still I'm glad that I choose to pick this book up because it surely kept me entertained.
