Final Thoughts (this thread)

So, what did you think of the book? Feel free to post your reviews here.

I haven't found the radio adaptations anywhere, but the mini-series and the film can be streamed.

The Eagle of the Ninth {1977 mini-series}: https://archive.org/details/1.-frontier-fort (It's a pretty good adaptation, but looks like it was made on a budget of two pounds and a cup of tea.)

The Eagle {2011 film}: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnLbvHnRIGk (It...had a decent budget.)

>2 amanda4242: Two pounds and a cup of tea!!! LOL. I've never heard that before. I'm going to remember that, perhaps Americanize it to Two dollars and a cup of coffee, as needed.

Thanks for those links, Amanda!

Depending on the result of course, I hope you will consider leading the group for book 2 - The Silver Branch Amanda.

>4 TonjaE: I'm game if people are interested.

>4 TonjaE: Yay! I had to edit the poll question, it would be June, not July.

>6 TonjaE: Either month works for me.

ETA: Ah, I see July is already taken.

>4 TonjaE: You may want to extend the amount of time the poll's open. A week to decide to read a sequel of a book you haven't read yet isn't much time!

>7 amanda4242: Lol, it really isn't. My brain is not working very well today, I'll fix it.

>6 TonjaE: >7 amanda4242: The first go round of the poll, I answered Must I make a decision now?

I have other reading commitments, but I also suffer badly from FOMA. I have no idea how to answer now that I've been given a second chance. D'oh!

You're so funny, just wait until after we've read Eagle of the Ninth. xx
