I really wanted to like them more, they just weren't for me. I hope you enjoy them if you read them! Chris - definitely try The Man Who Was Thursday. <br />Rebecca - I think the Father Brown stories needed to either go farther toward being a mystery or stay away from it and just be a story. They sort of try to have it both ways and it just doesn't work for a lot of people, I think.Lindsey Sparkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03654365166738983077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4873172796061848002.post-17294774715983818412010-06-01T15:15:23.662-05:002010-06-01T15:15:23.662-05:00Loved the Mand Who Was Thursday!

So you didn't turn me off at all, you actuall made me more interested in reading them :)Stefaniehttp://somanybooksblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4873172796061848002.post-18645327976631422832010-06-01T12:47:04.863-05:002010-06-01T12:47:04.863-05:00You say: "Holmes is so egotistical, moody, an...You say: "Holmes is so egotistical, moody, and he overpowers the stories, while Father Brown hovers in the background, quiet, calm, supremely rational." <br /><br />And that is why I enjoyed Father Brown and not Sherlock Holmes (who I don't really like reading at all). For Chesterton, I enjoyed the religious elements, the literary element, and so forth. But in the end, I did not put Father Brown on a list of favorite reads. I am just not a mystery fan and much as I wished Father Brown to be something other than mystery, in the end it still was a mystery.Rebecca Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06062252252301802298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4873172796061848002.post-83761491760268198752010-06-01T06:50:32.345-05:002010-06-01T06:50:32.345-05:00Oh no.
