Surprisingly bad. I guess it's reassuring that it's possible to go from writing one of the worst novels to writing one of the best.<BR/><BR/>The only issue I had with Possession was how uncreative she was with stereotypes. Her characters never deviate from typical British stereotypes. The Americans are either evil or fat. The Irish are bad in bad. The French are the eccentric noble savages. The Englsih are cool and intelligent.<BR/><BR/>It's quite funny how the stereotypes were flipped to the American version for the movie. In the movie, the main charachter is changed to American, because let's face it, there's nothing less sexy than two Brits courting. And he is no longer cool and intelligent, but brash and his brashness becomes one of the underlying themes of the movie: sometimes you have to be brash to get the job done. The guy who's bad in bed is English. The French don't figure much because we can't understand them. The evil guy is now English. The kindly old grandfather is changed to Irish. <BR/><BR/>But other than the stereotype issue, I really did think it was well done.Marcella O'Connorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05981351373981918111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-37260309248710370392008-11-06T08:26:00.000-05:002008-11-06T08:26:00.000-05:00http://marineko.blogspot.com/2008/11/tuesday-thing...http://marineko.blogspot.com/2008/11/tuesday-thingers-multiple-copies.htmlmarinekohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07328955003731346827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-87694816466272128212008-11-04T20:47:00.000-05:002008-11-04T20:47:00.000-05:00Mine is finally up.<A HREF="http://prairieprogressive.com/2008/11/04/tuesday-thingers-multiple-copies/" REL="nofollow">Mine</A> is finally up.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10754358056623078923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-84862581295691961262008-11-04T20:17:00.000-05:002008-11-04T20:17:00.000-05:00I have accidental multiples which, when I find the...I have accidental multiples which, when I find them, I will winnow.<BR/><BR/>The only book I deliberately have two copies is The Magus as he changed the ending and I read them side by side at one point.
