Thankyou to all the American "Literature" students who posted such amusing reviews comparing Hardy to low-budget day time soap operas. The complete lack of irony in these reviews is hilarious in itself but comparing his characterisation to Disney figures and 3rd rate TV shows confirms almost every stereotype of the American "Burger-bar" mentality. <br>Hardy's ideas and use of symbolism are often complex (obviously too complex for some of the readers on this site) but he is very readable - for anyone with half a brain anyway.<br>I suggest those who thought FFTMC was a comic novel or boring should stick to Dr Seuss.
