So, between now and Canada Day, read, read, and (if you've already read it) re-read Boyden's groundbreaking novel. In the meantime, feel free to comment on the novel: what do you think of it? Which characters or scenes come to life most effectively/least effectively? One of my colleagues found the battle-scenes repetitive: do you feel the same way? When I taught the book to my CanLit students, many felt it was one of the best novels they'd read in university. What do you think?
Some of you commented on the CanadaReads site during the most recent competition, questioning the fact that Three Day Road did not make it onto the list of finalists for the best Canadian novel of the decade. Should Three Day Road have been a finalist? Here's your opportunity to put yourself in the place of the CanadaReads judges: how would you have defended Boyden's novel?
Thanks to my new 'followers!'I'm looking forward to blogging with you all about this fantastic book (and any other things literary and interesting)!
