Christos, so...I'm grateful for these reactions.<br />Christos, someone else told me Matthew Pearl's books are very good as well, so I am sure I should take a look, as you say.<br />Elisabeth, good to hear from you.<br />Sarah, I agree he was excellent.<br />Maxine, for me the jury is still out. I would appreciate a twist in the narrative, and am keeping my fingers crossed!Martin Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16082485795280777670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291823984059320518.post-60794590699106760512012-01-11T10:06:03.805+00:002012-01-11T10:06:03.805+00:00I was not sure whether to watch this as I have inv...I was not sure whether to watch this as I have invariably had bad experiences when reading other people's endings to books (or other people's sequels to them).

I'd say I am addicted to all things period and BBC. So I look forward very much to this one, Edwin Drood. <br /><br />Of course it'll be ages before it gets to us here in Australia.

I haven't read the book but it is a shame that Dickens's intentions are unclear.
