Strike

[bobbie22]

Did anyone watch strike lethal white? Did anyone find it difficult to follow ? I did. But maybe it’s just me.

[Milo2]

I found it easy to follow but I’ve read the book so this probably helped.

[silka]

I did too. I like the programme but not easy to follow.

[bobbie22]

I have seen the previous programmes which were excellent

[bobbie22]

This series was very complex

[Mamyalynne]

It has been a complex storyline but I managed to keep up.

[brainiac]

Think I pretty much managed to follow it, but fail to see the significance of the title...

[Mamyalynne]

//The meaning of the title “lethal white” is explained midway through the book when a painting of horses that includes a doomed foal is described. “Lethal white” is a condition where the horse is born unable to digest and so lives for only a few hours.//

I’m so glad it wasn’t just me! I struggled too, so much so that I’ve come back on to my iPad to see if I can read up about it.

Get the books...they are really good reads.

I read the book when it first came out so I knew who'd dunnit and I knew what the reference to 'Lethal White' meant.

There were bits I'd forgotten and bits I remembered which didn't feature.

I think it is an excellent series and, best of all, the new Cormoran Strike book is out.......tomorrow!! :o)

Half price at Waterstones!

[ummmm]

I'm a little bit in love with him :-)

[Ken4155]

Found it all a tad boring, to be honest. Could've been done in 3 episodes but for their constant 'mooning' over one another.

[bednobs]

i have not watched any of them. I read the first chapter or so of the first book (Downloaded a sample on the kindle) and thought "I bet it was blah because of blah" and I went online and found out it was.

[Gill1941]

Like the books but have given up on the TV series.
Strike is absolutely nothing like the character in the books. I get a picture in my mind when I'm reading things and he is not it.
Have got next book on order at the library.

The only thing I have against it (as someone who like the Strike character has less than the normal amount of legs) is that he doesn't drive!

Driving (an automatic) liberated me when I first had my leg sawn off. Gave me freedom, mobility, etc. And latterly, a slightly modified push-bike did the same job.

[bednobs]

I guess there are a lot of people who don't drive and who wouldn't no matter how many legs they have :)

[Mamyalynne]

It seems the character can and does drive.

//In Lethal White, Strike drives a 13-year-old blue automatic BMW 3 series. He can’t afford a specially adapted automobile.//
