The Gates: A Samuel Johnson Tale

Oh! What a charmingly hilarious and yet remarkably creepy book! I absolutely adored this book! My only complaints are that it is too short and I want to know when the sequel hinted at will be published! I loved the characters! And it was absolutely laugh-out-loud funny in parts! It was so much fun to read that I can only hope Connolly had half as much writing it! I just loved it - the imagery, the style of the book, the dialogue... And the great anticipation that I had for it did not in any way diminish my enjoyment of the book, as so often happens with awaited-for novels. It was just terrific. I enjoyed everything about it - it was just so unique and charming!

This was super funny and interesting. Some of the character development was great but you still cared about them. Was descriptive enough that it was basically a movie playing my head that I did not want to stop. I would love to see it as an actual movie. I like the writers style a lot and i just enjoyed this book a lot overall.

I peeled through this book while in the hospital one night and rhe nurses couldn't figure out why I was laughing so much! Make it a point to recommend this book to everyone!
