Well, tragic events arouse intense emotions.

Thomas Hardy's books are always tragic.

I read this, the ending is very tragic

I'm only a few pages into the novel but the film looks pretty crook to me. Give me Hardy's original over this drivel. The accents have nowt to do with Wessex. I can do better.

@vickiormindyb Now I know where he got the idea for the story, Raise High the Roofbeam, Carpenters.

There was a similar misunderstanding about a wedding in that story.

I think J.D Salinger is the best writer there is. I can't believe he only published 3 books in his life while Stephen King writes more than 50 and counting.

That's a literary travesty.

J.D Salinger liked Thomas Hardy. I didn't know that until I read Catcher In The Rye, but I liked Thomas Hardy before I read anything by J.D Salinger.
