But please don´t ask me where I got that Christmassy cover from ;) I firmly believe that authors or publishers cannot mind bloggers borrowing their covers if they write positive reviews of their books.Dorte Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535044092722418173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-56905782756382163652009-12-18T21:49:45.285+00:002009-12-18T21:49:45.285+00:00Thanks for this contribution Dorte.

Perhaps we have just seen them all far too many times.Dorte Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535044092722418173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-43968483216399289612009-12-18T19:12:19.513+00:002009-12-18T19:12:19.513+00:00I love this series!

I think that the qualities that make Frost such a bracing character on the page might have come off as downright offensive on screen, so perhaps the TV writers adapted him appropriately for a different medium. I gather that Wingfield didn't like how they altered his creation though.Kate S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16897618197257393697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-50966452033160118552009-12-18T17:37:45.945+00:002009-12-18T17:37:45.945+00:00Dorte - Thanks for this excellent review : ).

That's what makes him all the more interesting : ).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
