picchick Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 dUst: If you approach it from a fiction side not as a religious controversy what do you think? I should add...I haven't read it. I was considering reading it. I do not have as big an interest in reading unless it is my physiology textbook : but if I do pick up a book I should make it worth my time I guess.... I do need to read P&P because the new movie is coming out and I told Jacob that I would read it. Meg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dUSt Posted July 30, 2005 Author Share Posted July 30, 2005 From a purely fictional perspective it was enjoyable, but not all that great. I've read much better fiction. The characters weren't developed at all, so you find yourself not really caring what happens to them, and most of the action was not believable. If any of the main characters would have died I would have been like "oh well". I think good fiction would at least ignite some type of emotion if that happened. I also think it's impossible to seperate the fiction from the religious falsities. You just can't do it, as it's part of the mystery and intertwined throughout the whole book. You can seperate them in an intellectual sense but not in a sense where you judge the book purely on it's literary qualities. It would be similar to going to worship at a pagan ceremony and come back and judge it on how good the refreshments were. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kateri05 Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 (edited) i agree with dUst. for example, [[color=red]edited: holy poo, i'm so sorry, i didn't mean to give away an ending!! [/color][/COLOR] when someone very beloved in a popular childrens book died, i cried, put the book down, walked out of the room and stood in front of my husband speechless. if that doesn't happen, its not a good enough book : Edited July 30, 2005 by kateri05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
