Please discuss Part Two only.

This is the part that I really liked, and judging from the numerous comments here, I guess I'm the only one who thinks that. :)


Sarah (songgirl7) | 284 comments Mod
I liked this part. And I loved this section of the movie, also.


Robbie Bashore | 141 comments Mod
It was a long time since I read this. What's in Part Two again?


Sarah (songgirl7) | 284 comments Mod
That's the part from Robbie's point of view at Dunkirk.


Robbie Bashore | 141 comments Mod
My point of view? I don't even know where Dunkirk is! ;)

I liked that section, too.

OMG. That was actually funny now that I read the whole thing and not just Robbie's last statement.

This is the part that bugged me about this story. Part 1 was hard enough to get through. Then you get into a completely different style of writing. It was like, "wait, did I just pick up a new book and not realize it?"

But it's actually the best part of the whole book. Unless you liked the ending.

SPOILERS:

I'm breaking my own rule here. But I have to comment on the ending in order to comment on Meghan's post!

I think that's on purpose, though. The difference in writing styles makes sense when you get to the end and realize that (SPOILER!) Briony had been writing this book since she was a child. Part 1 was probably written when she was much younger.
