REVIEWS OF ANITA'S FIRST NOVEL, "CIRCE."
New Review of Circe on Suite101 by Kate Pullen
Reader Reviews
High on originality. This is wonderful stuff and made me laugh out loud several times. Your writing reminds me of Erica Jong somehow – erudite, funny and sexy.

Poised on the thin line between genius and insanity. – Anita Vasanth, Bangalore
Very good and very entertaining. Your story is consistent and strong throughout.
–Jo Ann Hernandez, Internet Writing Workshop.
A fascinating study in monstrosity. The writer has found her voice.
–Roger Culpan, The Writing Workshop, Warrington, England.
A highly original, experimental and brilliant work.— Professor P. Lal, Writer’s Workshop, Calcutta.
I’m glad there’s still some humor out there in the world. After all, with everything that’s always making headlines in the news, people just get a little too angst-ridden for their own good. I enjoyed the setting, even though the figures of Greek mythology have never been that interesting to me, you managed to put a slant on them that made me pay attention. The main characters are interesting and funny as well, in addition to seeming well developed. I don’t see why a manuscript of this type wouldn’t sell like Furby’s Over Christmas.

First rate satire and an extremely funny and entertaining read. Makes me want to re-read the classics. I love the wry humour and irreverent style.
–David Luddington, Internet Writing Workshop
Pacy, narrative style and the brisk. no-nonsense personality of the narrator, Circe. Lively, tremendous energy, fun and highly original. I loved the three ascetics and the carpet that had once been a man! I loved ‘One Man’s Poison, another Man’s Meat’. It is hilarious and the combination of erotic writing and what is pretty near slapstick humour is highly entertaining.
–Mrs Hilary Johnson, The London School of Journalism.
The almost Xena-style irreverence towards the mythology keeps it ticking. Love the freshness, originality and vibrancy of the voice.
