The main reason for my love of the book are the letters, I would say. Legolas Send a noteboard - 24/07/2010 10:00:13 PM

I must have formed the impression of what it was about from one of you. Unless Legolas is the culprit. There are a limited number of people who have been telling me to read it.


The romance aspect of that is a part of the reason why, but only a part - mostly I just love the way the letters are written. I agree with Rebekah in that I'm relatively indifferent about Roland and Maud, at least as far as their relationship goes. I found Christabel far more interesting than any of the contemporary female characters (or the male ones, for that matter).

Yes, I saw it more as a criticism (satire?) of obsessive academia than a love-story. Tim - 07/07/2010 10:34:12 AM 1539 Views

It's funny. I'd have to reread, but based on what I remember I have the opposite view. Legolas - 24/07/2010 10:06:57 PM 1517 Views
Coincidentally, it was also a digested read in the Guardian. Camilla - 09/07/2010 03:48:09 PM 1753 Views

It's a sign of it being a good book that you can like it for such different reasons from mine. Legolas - 24/07/2010 10:42:39 PM 1596 Views
