  Actually I really enjoyed the story but I'm sad that the version I read was a simplified one (I borrowed it from my English teacher because I wanted to try to read a classic in English and I didn't want to start spending money on it without knowing if I would be able to read it, because of the language that it is used). So many things were left out, the events happened to fast due to the simplified version, which made me sad and, the language was simple. I even thought of reread it and this time it would be the regular version, but the regular one has something like 736 pages and that's huge to read in English and it's also too soon to reread it.
  I have to say that I really hated Mr Fairlie, the Count Fosco and Sir Percival! Such a hateful characters. I loved Marian and Mr Hartright, what a lovely man. And Marian is so brave and sweet.

  Esta fue una lectura para clase por lo que tuve que leer una edición resumida y en un "inglés más simple". Me encantó la historia, así que me gustaría leer la versión original porque siento que al ser adaptada por un tercero se pierde mucho del estilo del autor.
  En cuanto a la historia, es muy enredada, pero me vino bien porque todo lo misterioso/policial me enganché y lo leí bastante rápido. Además, la ambientación en una clase bastante alta en la Inglaterra victoriana me encantó. Lo recomiendo.

  A well written page-turner with a complex yet interesting story. Slightly disappointed with the climax though it was the most practical solution, coz I was keenly waiting one last meeting between Walter and Count Fosco and How Walter gets his revenge. Overall it's a good thriller novel.

  La edición que he leído no es esta, pero no la encontraba. Está graduado como c1, aunque yo estoy empezando ese nivel y me ha resultado fácil. Solamente he tenido que buscar un par de palabras.
  Al estar tan resumido del libro original se hace un poco liosa la trama porque te da muchos nombres y muchos hechos todos de golpe pero tiene pinta de que el original (que me apunto a mi lista para leer) sea bastante intrigante.
  La historia me ha gustado y, como libro para aprender el idioma, cumple su propósito y hace que quieras leer más.
  De los que he leído graduados en inglés, este es el que más me ha gustado y enganchado, así que por eso le doy mis 5 estrellas(dentro de que no es un libro completo, claro)

  Really falls short of the original. The relationships seem hollow, and the villains are so tame and toned down!

  This book gave me goosebumps for the first time in months!
  
  I must admit that I already predicted the plot when Marian heard the conversation between the Count and Sir Percival. But still, the excitement and suspense at the later pages of the book was just amazing. I like how clever both the Count and Walter is and how the latter got all of the evidence.
  
  The whole Pesca, Fosco and brotherhood thing was brilliant too!
  
  Looks like I'll have to read another work of Collins' some time soon

  Great story, great plot. I had to read it for my English class. I first thought it was like the tipical classic novel in which there are misterious evil things but they never tell you what they are (?).
  
  Nevermind, it surprised me in a nice way. It was very interesting and there was suspense all the time. You could never know what to expect from the story.

  It is a fastmoving story. I also watched the series based on this story. It is very beneficial to watch film/series before reading. Oxford books are always the best, paper quality and the size is ergonomic.

  Siento que no puedo decir mucho de este libro porque """leí""" 60 páginas en menos de una hora. Con eso digo todo.
  La historia no es mala, but it's not my cup of tea.

  La verdad es que el principio ha sido lo que más me ha gustado. Todo el misterio que envolvia a la chica misteriosa y la forma de describirla del protagonista me ha hecho pensar que la obra iba a ser de otra forma.
  
  Aun así no ha estado mal, aunque sí ha habido partes que me han aburrido un poco.
