Some of Fielding's remarks were a little too tangential to the story he was telling. The story itself though was both hilarious and witty. Mr. Western and his sister and their arguments were fantastic!TSorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208153011927807857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3128584955200029678.post-80355483295597632732015-11-10T08:35:36.826-08:002015-11-10T08:35:36.826-08:00I am so glad you finally got around to it!

Well worth it! So funny and an interesting tale of thwarted romance and hijinks. Fielding is a wonderful writer and I too enjoyed his sentences so much I had to reread many two or three times. :) So thanks again for writing such a good review that it made me (finally) read the book!Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15726625184023392723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3128584955200029678.post-54282705958809430702011-12-03T12:47:08.710-08:002011-12-03T12:47:08.710-08:00I think I have to read the book just because of th...I think I have to read the book just because of this excerpt you included: "He compared the reader and the author to two people that accompany each other in a carriage and though we will probably never see each other again, we enjoyed each other's company and will depart cheerfully."<br />What a wonderful description of a relationship that is so important to both reader and writer!Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15726625184023392723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3128584955200029678.post-41705938183107392882011-10-12T08:42:31.009-07:002011-10-12T08:42:31.009-07:00Have no fear, the movie is well worth watching!
