The Voyage of Patience Goodspeed......It's ok. so far. I love ship stories and was looking for a YA quick read (I like to balance between YA and adult) and saw this at the library I picked it up. Hopefully it will become a bit more fast-paced but it's still entertaining. ;)
NEXT- Miss Delacourt Speaks Her Mind!!!! :D

I haven't read the book, but I thought the BBC mini series version of it was great! Have you seen it?

I love the tvseries North and South!!!!
how was Room W a View??


message 363: by Alyssa (new)

Alyssa (lady_grace) | 166 comments Alice wrote: "how was Room W a View??"

I enjoyed it a great deal! Basically, the heroine (Lucy) had to decide between two gentleman: a proper, rich, and cool-tempered one (Cecil Vyse) who had to propose multiple before she finally agreed to marry him, or passionate, forward, wild, and almost mysterious one (George Emerson). It was long enough to enjoy the details, but short that you get don't get bogged down somewhere in the middle. ;) I would definately recommend it!! :D

How are you liking it?
Have you seen any adaptations of it?


message 386: by [deleted user] (new)

Loving it! I saw the 1995 adaptation, with Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet, so I pretty much knew the story already. But the book has a lot more to it.


message 387: by Sophie, The Romantic Moderator :) (new)

Sophie | 2550 comments Mod
That's would I found. I loved the book too!!
I recommend after you have read it , if you can, to watch the 2008 one. It a series of 3 hours and they include more obviously ;) and for me it was generally better than the 95, although I did love that one.
Also, If you want more from the character of Col Brandon (the hero of the story for me!) then I recommend Col Brandon's diary by Amanda Grange - it gave me a whole new respect for him and a bigger incite into his character and then he jumped up to very near the top of my hero list !!
:)


message 388: by [deleted user] (new)

I'll def watch the movie once I'm done reading the book. I like when they include more of the story in the movie. Like the CBC Adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. Fave version. :)

Sweet! I'll check it out! I actually REALLY like Col Brandon.
