Cold Comfort Farm was forced upon me to read, but I did not even read it. But what I did read, was very boring and pointless. Whomever seems to think this kind of humor is humorus. It is not.

I think it is a marvelous book. I saw the movie before reading the book so every character was brought to life.

[edit] Futurisim

I wonder why there's no mention of the futuristic aspects of life as depicted in the novel (although not in the movies or other adaptions), used as a deliberite and extreme contrast to the backwardness and primitivness of Cold Comfort farm. Things like TV telephones, and air-taxies. Flora is not just introducing these people to the 20th C, she's dragging them into the future! If I remember corectly the novel was actually set in the mid 40's or 50's (Stella Gibbon's idea of the mid 40's), there'd just been a second world war and many young men (Flora's boyfriend included), had served in it and been affected by it. That is definitly a novel and highly interesting aspect of the story, it should be worth a mention. OzoneO 16:21, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

• • Good idea, it was something I was intrigued about when I read it but it was not alluded to at all in the adaptations. I have inserted a paragraph about this! Tony Corsini 10:00, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
