My copy could be returned if I didn't like ti for 2 free books, but I let the deadline lapse so I'm hopeful I won't want to return it.Jodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11462660276240016464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6000858382516594426.post-56073702235823491162010-03-30T15:16:30.193-04:002010-03-30T15:16:30.193-04:00Also Jenny, I saw a new book out today told from t...Also Jenny, I saw a new book out today told from the viewpoint of the guy in Sense and Sensibility who's in love with Marianne, and marveled again that there are people (Amanda) who don't like him. Not to sound one note this week, but he was played by Alan Rickman in the movie (so what's not to like?)Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01374498643286099244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6000858382516594426.post-87519184773827404002010-03-30T15:14:43.631-04:002010-03-30T15:14:43.631-04:00Aarti, It is a lovely book (just as ReadersGuide s...Aarti, It is a lovely book (just as ReadersGuide said). Evidently, people in Leningrad were actually reading War and Peace during the siege.<br /><br />Valerie, It's not a complete surprise, just a bit more realistic than some folk tales.<br /><br />Jenny, I have a hard time imagining someone who wouldn't like Kolya.Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01374498643286099244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6000858382516594426.post-39594805496885930262010-03-30T09:28:58.088-04:002010-03-30T09:28:58.088-04:00Kolya sounds like a man after my own heart.

She doesn't like Mr. Rochester! We go ten rounds about that one practically every time she's in town. :PJennyhttp://jennysbooks.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6000858382516594426.post-53349264157362428822010-03-29T14:47:55.282-04:002010-03-29T14:47:55.282-04:00I like surprise endings (I may not always like wha...I like surprise endings (I may not always like what happen in them, though), if they are well done!

I also react very strongly to characters in literature! I haven't read War & Peace, but I generally hate vapid women getting that much attention. I feel like I'd get along quite well with Kolya ;-)Aartihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02354873119188597611noreply@blogger.com
