![]() ![]() ![]() Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? I only mention it as King reads "The Wind Through the Keyhole" himself. On a related note, King pronounces Deschain as "Des-chain" whereas Frank (and I) would pronounce it more French as in "Desh-ain". Not that it is Frank's fault because King confirmed that it should be pronounced "Key-ooth-bert" instead of "Cuth-bert" as I'd expect. It is slightly distracting hearing the name pronounced differently to how I expect to hear it though. I enjoyed Cuthbert Allgood's character and Frank's performance of it. Which character – as performed by Frank Muller – was your favourite? Also that he can demonstrate the difference between a gunslinger and those who failed the test and are outcast. Roland showing how smart and astute he is despite his distraction with Susan Delgado. You understand a lot of Roland's motivations and why he is the way he is from the events in this story. Also, the relationship with Roland's original Ka-Tet of Owain and Cuthbert. Roland's blossoming relationship with Susan Delgado.

Because they are constructed from a series of overlapping qualities (two or three of the characters relate to sports in a unique way, for instance while there's a smartest one, that doesn't mean academics doesn't play a role with other characters) and an offbeat factor or two (one characters loves but is hated by cats) instead of each one stuffed into a brightly emblazoned unique role in the manner of a North American entertainment, our initial sense of the main characters (Sakaki, Kagura, Chiyo, Tomo, Yomi and Osaka teachers Yukari and Nyamo) feels real. The best things about Kiyohiko Azuma's high school comedy are its tone - sweet with just enough of an edge that everything goes down smoothly - and the balance with which Azuma has built his characters.

The novel has been adapted a number of times: initially for the stage in 1930 as a film in 1932, and again in 1957 and as a three-part television miniseries in 1966. The title might be taken from a 16th‑century poem of the same name by the English dramatist George Peele. The book became his first best-seller and has been called "the premier American war novel from World War I". Its publication ensured Hemingway's place as a modern American writer of considerable stature. The novel describes a love affair between the expatriate from America and an English nurse, Catherine Barkley. First published in 1929, it is a first-person account of an American, Frederic Henry, serving as a lieutenant ( Italian: tenente) in the ambulance corps of the Italian Army. A Farewell to Arms is a novel by American writer Ernest Hemingway, set during the Italian campaign of World War I. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() So I ended the book with an unfinished feeling, wishing that Gaskell had lived to put the last touches to this vivid tale of middle class life in a Midlands town, ‘”an everyday story”, as the subtitle puts it. In the dramatisation, an alternative ending is given, more satisfying, perhaps more wish fulfilling, a neat tying of the knot between the heroine and her lover, but not what the author intended. The only reason I haven’t given it five stars is that it is unfinished, and the last chapter, written by Frederick Greenwood, her editor, sketches the ending according to what he knew of her intentions. To find out why, read the book, an early feminist novel. If a married couple come to settle in the town, somehow the gentleman disappears…”.
