I'd rather have had a faithful representation of Richardson than the peculiar invention of Ryman (with those odd, undeveloped diversions about his wife's miscarriages and requests for Meadows to stand in because Ryman couldn't deliver). <br /><br />Undeveloped but repeated references to Africa, and the silly repetition of the Habbakuk [sic] spelling (and the patronising explanation) all irritated me too.<br /><br />Very disappointing.<br /><br />(do you read these comments?)Tinwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13253606626971950447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26741618.post-54657786069333814722012-06-14T01:41:31.824-07:002012-06-14T01:41:31.824-07:00This review is superb!
I haven't yet finished...This review is superb!<br /><br />I haven't yet finished Turbulence but was intrigued enough to go and Google the characters to try and find out who was real and what, if any of it, had really happened. <br /><br />What you have written here has really helped! <br /><br />One thing still bothers me, though. My Googlings suggest that there really was a Ryman Number, is that not right? So, who was Ryman?<br /><br />Best Wishes<br />PeterTinwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13253606626971950447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26741618.post-29600451650297572862012-06-14T01:40:09.453-07:002012-06-14T01:40:09.453-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Tinwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13253606626971950447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26741618.post-82231972169470814422009-08-25T21:43:11.055-07:002009-08-25T21:43:11.055-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04154200709776051635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26741618.post-38515362252347117072009-08-25T21:39:47.874-07:002009-08-25T21:39:47.874-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04154200709776051635noreply@blogger.com
