I may get the book, I like E.M Forster. Thanks EP

Am enjoying the reading of the R.C. Sherriff book on radio 4 this week .....wish his books were still available.

I read this book as a teenager and never forgotten it. So relevant for this age of the Internet.

How did it seem when you read it as a teenager please?

Since then your experience of life has increased and depending how long ago you were a teenager (and I am not asking!) the technology around us has changed enormously or even more!

Did it seem relevant back then to how things were back then?

Thanks again for these links. I have listened to the BBC Radio adaptation but would like to read the book before I comment further. I'm not keen on the voices in either of those recordings so shall pass on those.

Amazon are winging the book (£2.70) to me as we speak so I'll read it over the weekend and be back with some thoughts next week.
