:- 1.0 out of 5 stars from PinkyIL -- Creepy Corny Confusion : Just hated everything about this book! I had to think for several days after finishing it, just how to even speak about it in a review. I did not like the content or characters throughout the book. I've read over 30 of WC's books & I am pretty certain this is the only one I came away feeling opressed & depressed after reading. It is so morbidly bad, that I often had to take a break within a chapter & return to it later. Some claim this is didactic?! I fail to see it ... sigh. I just say it is AWFUL. This is my honest opinion & the only part I actually liked was the last two words "THE END"! ( Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2018 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from A kindle reader -- A true writer : Wilkie Collins writes true literature. His plots take unusual turns and though I admire the esteem, curtesy, and almost reverence which he bestows on his women heroines , he has a habit in his writings, of making women very much the (physically) weaker sex... to an exaggerated degree! They seem to faint often and also under duress, go into somewhat catatonic states approaching death. Still, his stories captivate, are very well written, and certainly his characters have interesting and descriptive personalities - the villains despicable, the heroes quite gallant, and the heroines noble and elegant. Often in his stories one of the less noble characters has a "conversion" and it is pleasing to see its unfolding. It's definitely "old charm" reading!

- 4.0 out of 5 stars from Ria B. -- Romance and science in the Victorian age : A very interesting story on Victorian science and the - at that time also controversial - vivisection. The story has it all: a love which is not reciprocated, a society figure who needs to keep up appearances while in debt, an orphan with a frail health condition, rivalry in scientific research and a nice love story. All this is intertwined with intrigue about - what else? - money. I have enjoyed this classic very much. ( Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2016 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Francesca Salerno -- Five Stars : Wilkie Collins always delivers. ( Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2016 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Amazon Customer -- Great Read : Mr. Collins is a master of words in providing insight into human behavior. If you're an animal rights advocate the storyline may be troubling at first, but ends well (...sort of!) ( Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2015 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Richard Ferrie -- Still controversial after all these years : Critics of Wilkie Collins like to say that his later novels are overly didactic and indicate signs of increased drug use. HEART AND SCIENCE is one of those usually so labeled. Because it is an anti-vivisection novel, perhaps the foremost of the 19th century, it is regarded by some (especially those who think that an experiment is stronger if a thousand animals are killed in the process rather than, say, a mere hundred) and often dismissed as sentimental and therefore second-rate. This is hardly the case. HEART AND SCIENCE is a strong, well-structured novel with good characterization and coherent development; unfortunately, Collins decided readers would only purchase the book if the primary plot involved a love story. Perhaps overly-romantic, yes; sentimental, no. While THE MOONSTONE remains Collins' masterpiece, one of the finest pop-to-literature cross-over novels in English, HEART AND SCIENCE deserves to be considered one of the author's best.

- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Paul B. -- A Great Read : Collins's book is very interesting--it's the story, by the inventor of the detective novel, of a tall, evil neurologist driven by the frantic pace of science to disect living, screaming animals in his search for a cure for brain disease. And the Broadview edition is excellent--it provides the primary texts of the vivisection debate of the 1870s and 80s, including Francis Power Cobbe's essay and documentation of the court case. Excellent scholarly work made available and accessible to beginners--I've used the novel in a course on Literature and Science with great success. ( Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2000 )
- 2.0 out of 5 stars from Frank Seemann [fseeman@gwdg.de] -- Farmer vs. Collins : This book, one of Collins's late sensation novels, is decidely less well constructed than "The Woman in White" or "The Moonstone": you are very often able to tell what will happen next and even how the whole thing is probably going to finish. ( Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 1998 )
- 4.0 out of 5 stars from D.C.Butterfield -- Science and confusion : To read more of his style and what sense he makes of science ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 9, 2019 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from canoesailor -- Great : This is another great book from Wilkie Collins, it's well worth a read as are almost all of his books ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 6, 2013 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from The Scorer -- I'm biased : I'm biased because I love all Wilkie Collins books. I haven't read a bad one yet..! Great read, very gripping x ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 2, 2013 )
