I'd like to read that. I'm not far enough in the Russell series yet though. :)<br /><br />It's such an interesting book. Good luck reading it this year!

There's a nice homage in one of the Laurie R. King books in the Mary Russell series - The Game. I'll bookmark this post and will read it after I finally get to Kim. Maybe this is the year.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907747392138991807.post-70454650581652127022015-01-06T16:46:37.748-05:002015-01-06T16:46:37.748-05:00Ouch, yeah...

I can absolutely see this being one of those classics foisted on high school kids that results in kids having a lifelong hatred of Kipling. (I feel the same way about Steinbeck, except I can't even bring myself to want to go back and read his stuff, any of it, even the ones that weren't forced on me.) <br /><br />It's a very descriptive book and the action is not rushed, and some of Kipling's language is a bit tricky, dated, or unusual. All a recipe for disaster as a high school read, but I love that stuff as an adult.

Maybe I'll go back and give it a reread.Mac n' Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05732924562630675589noreply@blogger.com
