Waec recommendations, u get to chose b/w it and Robinson Crusoe
it's more interesting and is a tale of love and is really touching though it's tragic,

what do you think, that's if u've read it.

yea, nice book didnt get to finish it but enjoyed the movie, its like 5yrs last i heared bout it

one of my fave waec books of all time. showed determination, love wat ever else u want in a book. d end did make me cry small sha.

what happened at the end again,4gotten

She was killed, by the village ppl, cuz she killed dat guy (cant rember his name: guy dat raped her)!

It used to be a level stuff when i went to school.
That book is so sad i hate it. it spoils your day. I saw the film too .

o yea i remember now, wow been quite sometime

read it in secondary school cause it was one of my literature books,its a nice and intresting story

i would choose Tess of the D'urbervilles over Robinson Crusoe anyday. i loved reading it tho i wish it wasnt so tragic.

Angel should have listened to Tess when she was trying to confess to him before the wedding, and he should have understood and forgiven her when she eventually did confess after the wedding.

yeah i answered it instead of robinson crusoe though our techer went with it
i wanted 2 do tess n i did n got my c in lit.
out of over 300 students there wsnt up 2 5 dat did it thnx 2 d teacher!!
it wlda being more interesting than dumb old robinson crusoe on sum stupid island by himself!!!! n his diary.

read it again and cried

Interesting book, simply lovely.

nooooo! i'll fight somebody here o! LOL, I like Robinson Crusoeeeeee!, it's not as heartbreaking as all those "tess de Uberville-ish" type things , i would have picked Robinson Crusoe mehn

both books appeal to me
tess because it ended tragically and is very true to nature, since reality is not always about "happily ever after"

robinson crusoe because it was an adventure and seem to detach me from this civilised world to a remote world nd give me the instinct of survival anywhere

Tess of the D'Ubervilles was a really touching book. It just shows the type of double standards expected from women, It was so sad that Angel had slept with a prostitute and she was able to accept it, but he was unable to accept that she wasnt a virgin. (Even though she was raped !!!)

Reminds me of the Mayor of Casterbridge; beats me why anyone writes such tragic shit - even more baffling that peeps are still reading it for exams.

oh lord i love both books!
and kay, mayor of casterbridge is ssweeeeeet
sue me!

Yes nau! What good is a serial killer if he doesn't drop a stiff every now and then?!

But see, this thread is kinda nice and cozy and quaintly depressing, i wouldn't wanna disturb the neighbourhood peace; what say we carry our beef back to the Rant Thread? Its ok to go crazy there

It such a nice book.
