Despite a promising start, if I'm honest, I actually found this book quite hard to get into. Never really grabbed me in the way, say, a Sharpe novel does despite having a similar theme: a tale about soldiers in the midst of a war (in this case, the Crimea).

I don't think the writing style really helped either, which I found could be quite dense and needlessly convoluted, and the heavy emphasis on the vernacular of the time also meant that it was quite easy to lose track of what was going on or what the characters were even talking about!

All in all, unfortunately, not really that impressed by this book.

This novel is commonly known as the first true English novel, as well as the first epistolary novel. I've taken numerous British and English Literature classes, but had not been introduced to this novel until I studied in England and took an English novel class taught by a German professor who learned English solely so he could read Shakespeare in the vernacular. I'm glad that this prof included this wonderful novel. It was a nice change from just assigning Jane Eyre and Great Expectations.
It's an interesting study on Pamela, and spawned so many great, satirical novels. This is definitely a must read if you like classic literature and enjoy reading the novels that shaped the literature of today.

Roland Emmerich sure likes his disaster movies.

This is his 2014 disaster movie that, taking climate change as it's starting point, has entered the popular vernacular - "it's like the day after tomorrow out there" - and, until the movie 2012 came along (I'm typing this in 2019) also must have held the record for portraying natural disaster on the big screen.

The main focus of this one is on both Jake Gylenhall and Dennis Quaid, with the former becoming trapped in New York when a series of natural disasters leads to a new ice-age leading to the latter (who, natch, is an experienced climatologist) to trek has way across the frozen North America to rescue his son.
