What did you think of Harkaway?



I enjoyed it, for the most part. Reading reviews, I saw many complaints about the tangents, but I thought they were actually pretty fun. I liked the language, and I liked the story.

Some parts didn't really seem to fit together at points, but overall very good.

And I want my own personal pirate monk.

Oh Camilla. And your nationstate has the most Winter Olympic medals ever!!! The Shrike - 12/02/2010 08:09:24 PM 735 Views
That is part of the problem. It makes the media very enthusiastic. Camilla - 12/02/2010 10:14:05 PM 745 Views
So cynical. I bet if whale hunting were a sport, you'd be on board The Shrike - 12/02/2010 10:29:26 PM 695 Views
Only if you don't count East and West Germany's medals as German medals. *NM* Tom - 13/02/2010 03:07:15 AM 269 Views
