What you really need to do is just co...Dear *Diana*<br />What you really need to do is just copy all of what you just said and save it until you get your own blog, then write your own review about the book, because I noticed you touched on a few things that I forgot to mention! <br />YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT ABOUT THE CASTING. <br />Every single person in the book was EXACTLY like the actor portrayed him/her. I literally cannot imagine ANYONE else as Mr. Thornton except Richard. Oh, I forgot to mention how much I love Mr. Bell! I love how he stepped up and took the place of Margaret's guardian after *someone* dies. It's just really sweet. He's a good old chap. <br /><br />You are right too about Margaret. It's good to give a character qualities that balance each other out that way. It makes for a more realistic, interesting read. <br />Henty's ok, but you're right, he's hard sometimes. <br />I'm glad you liked the post! Thank you, darling. :)<br />-PhoebeAmaris https://www.blogger.com/profile/10325468716241431375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837860452830746732.post-82759759990078380702016-06-04T18:14:07.491-07:002016-06-04T18:14:07.491-07:00Morgan: The TV series is absolutely GREAT.

I think they did an amazing job with casting in the movie; when I read the book, everyone was just the way they looked in the movie. Especially Mr. Thornton, Frederick, and Nicholas Higgins. <br />Don't you just love the part where Mr. Bell tells Mr. Thornton about Frederick?? That's my favorite part, both in the book and movie. Ooh, and the part where Mr. Thornton goes to see Nicholas. :D <br />I really like Margaret's character; she is so strong, and able. The neat things about a character like hers, is that her flaws balance out her good qualities. She's stubborn, but that makes her firm on something important. She's a bit prejudiced, but she holds dear memories sacred. She sees the problems and flaws in other people; but she's very loyal. She doesn't complain, even when she's so worn out that she can't even sleep. It's only when everything that can be done is done, and everyone who depends on her is taken care of, that she lets go and collapses. I think I'm a little bit like her, but not as much as I'd like to. She's definitely a role model of mine. <br />UGH, descriptions!!! I can't stand those. :P They make Henty actually hard to read. I have a few other things against Henty, but that's the biggest. <br />Excellent post, darling. :)<br />-Diana<br />P.S.
