Not all the time, just most of the time. </p> http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/lloyd-alexanders-books/page/2#post-1901 Tue, 09 Sep 2008 07:39:05 +0000 Sarah 1901@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ <p>Really? I didn't really notice it myself. </p> http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/lloyd-alexanders-books/page/2#post-1900 Tue, 09 Sep 2008 05:06:20 +0000 Pip 1900@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ <p>Pip here again; Dad's reading The High King aloud to us and we like it. Gwydion (sp?) is horribly pessimistic, and that drives me nuts... </p> http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/why-didnt-you-like-westmark/page/2#post-1424 Mon, 11 Aug 2008 19:38:42 +0000 Pip 1424@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ <p>Hehehehe, I read books aloud to me sibs and haveta edit double, because one can't stand blood! </p> http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/why-didnt-you-like-westmark/page/2#post-1414 Mon, 11 Aug 2008 14:34:06 +0000 Alassiel 1414@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ <p>I don't think I'd notice the language either, except that I have read many of his books out loud, and found myself suddenly having to edit. </p> http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/why-didnt-you-like-westmark/page/2#post-1391 Thu, 07 Aug 2008 18:55:59 +0000 Pip 1391@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ <p>Good 'eavens, <em>really</em>? I thankfully don't remember any!!!<br /> *hysterical laughter at Ruth's comment above* Naturally I like Fflewddur better! &lt;img src=&quot;http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_lol.gif&quot; title=&quot;:lol:&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; </p> http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/why-didnt-you-like-westmark#post-1378 Wed, 06 Aug 2008 13:25:19 +0000 Alassiel 1378@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ <p>Thanks for re-trying and reviewing it. I don't really like the moral dillemmas either, but since Theo is mostly good, I can overlook them. The language was unnecessary, but I have noticed there is a little language in most of Lloyd Alexander's books. </p> http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/why-didnt-you-like-westmark#post-1370 Tue, 05 Aug 2008 07:48:12 +0000 Ruth 1370@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ <p>Alyosha, I <em>did</em> enjoy the story; it was just those things I mentioned that irked me a bit. And yes, I meant the fact that the others didn't care much. It was sort of the feel of, "I feel so awful 'cause I intentionally told a lie!" And they tell him "Get over it!" Not quite that bluntly, of course. &lt;img src=&quot;http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_wink.gif&quot; title=&quot;:wink:&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; </p> <p>Do you mean the count, Pip? I can't say he reminded me much of Fflewddur. Fflewddur is generally well-meaning, but the Count Las Bombas is more of a shameless swindler! </p> http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/why-didnt-you-like-westmark#post-1368 Mon, 04 Aug 2008 17:56:01 +0000 Pip 1368@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ <p>I remember reading Westmark on a camping trip; I stayed up late into the night reading by the light of a lamp because I had the couch bed and the living room all to meself; I remember being mad because that one guy, the funny one who's kinda loik Fflewddur, is FAT! (I <em>usually</em> like tall, slender characters with long, sharp noses; unless they're pumpee mice!) </p> http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/why-didnt-you-like-westmark#post-1362 Sun, 03 Aug 2008 16:27:51 +0000 Alyosha 1362@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ <p>So--review is up! And it seems that you didn't like it any better this time, but...ah well. &lt;img src=&quot;http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_razz.gif&quot; title=&quot;:P&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; </p> <p>Was it Theo's moral dilemmas that were disturbing, or the fact that the others didn't care about them? *can't remember anything specific about said dilemmas* </p> http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/lloyd-alexanders-books/page/2#post-1273 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 19:45:47 +0000 Pip 1273@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ <p>Well said, jordan...<br /> I believe they did the harp string-snapping.
