ouch, a lot of you dont like Hound. a shame, I found that the most entertaining part of the course.

and for the record, I think anil's ghost might be a more boring read. its a novel written by a poet, imagine that! not a bad text once you have finished though

i loved anil's ghost!!

im doing anil and rear window... but i'll look briefly over my notes on skull incase that fits the question better... we studied skull the most but by the end of it it was a class arguement of if it was a parody or not.

the real inspector hound sounded interesting.

It depends on the question... granted I'm pretty screwed no matter what... but I'm okay to do any of Skull, Rear Window and Inspector Hound.

My relateds are Lamb to the Slaughter, The Life & Crimes of Harry Lavender and something by Conan Doyle, probaby The Speckled Band or A Study in Scarlet.

:( I can't wait until this exam's over.

I'm doing Skull beneath the skin and the real inspector hound. i LOVE stoppard and the play so i think hound will help me to put a bit of spin on my essay. i dont like rear window.. not sure why. just always struggle to talk about it. plus even though we use the transcript etc etc etc.... i still have huge issues with using a film in 'crime WRITING'. dont like that. it bothers me.
