Who's Your All-time Favourite Book Villain?

Book Blogger Hop

In the spirit of the Twitter Friday Follow, the Book Blogger Hop is a place just for book bloggers and readers to connect and share our love of the written word!  This weekly BOOK PARTY is an awesome opportunity for book bloggers to connect with other book lovers, make new friends, support each other, and generally just share our love of books!  It will also give blog readers a chance to find other book blogs to read!  Jennifer hosts this meme over at Crazy For Books.

"Who's your all-time favourite book villain?"
This may seem odd, considering I am mother to five grown adults, but the only villain(ess) who pops into my mind is Cruella Deville!!  From her style, to her hair, to her mannerisms and that cruel laugh, she stands out as one of the greatest villains of all time.  As a dog lover, she is one antagonist I love to hate!

The Hundred and One Dalmatians, or the Great Dog Robbery, is a 1956 children's novel by Dodie Smith. A sequel, The Starlight Barking, continues from the end of the first novel. 

The Disney adaptation of the novel into an animated film was released to theaters on January 25, 1961 as One Hundred and One Dalmatians. It was the tenth highest grossing film of 1961.

    Hi! Just stopping by on the hop. I'm your newest follower. I LOVED 101 Dalmations...I've never read the book-but I've seen the movie countless times. She is a scary villain.
    Have a great weekend :)
