]]> Comment on A note on silence, and atonement (the movie) by Starwolf http://madwriters.net/blog/?p=62&cpage=1#comment-162 Starwolf Thu, 11 Nov 2010 05:36:17 +0000 http://madwriters.net/blog/?p=62#comment-162 Atonement always confused me, both the book and the movie. Briony thinks for 5 years that Robbie attacked Lola, and all of a sudden she "realizes" it was Paul? How did that work? I'm not sure how Briony knew about Cecelia and Robbie ever briefly meeting either. Maybe Atonement isn't "that" kind of story. To me, I have a better time buying James McAvoy and Saoirse Ronan as siblings than Ronan and Keira Knightly. Atonement always confused me, both the book and the movie.

]]> Comment on The King’s Mistress by Emma Campion by Miss Moppet http://madwriters.net/blog/?p=31&cpage=1#comment-104 Miss Moppet Wed, 13 Oct 2010 04:42:36 +0000 http://madwriters.net/blog/?p=31#comment-104 Hello Misty, I just found your review through Goodreads and I agree with you 100%. I think the publishers were reaching with that "foremost scholar" tag and probably just ended up exposing their author to ridicule. I'm currently reading The People's Queen by Vanora Bennett which is also about Alice - I don't know if it's more or less accurate but so far it's a much better read.
