The celebrities' "birds' eye view" ..The Stars look Down by A.J.Cronin

[shaneystar2]

Unconfined confinement ..Great Expectations ?

[swehttam]

thank you shaneystar, I am not sure about Great Expectations, I thought open, loose or free was in the answer and this may be born free

Timepiece by Richard Paul Evans

[rogerr]

I have found three titles
Open Prison
An open prison
The open prison

[shaneystar2]

Hmmm......if it was Born Free .. I can see the unconfined bit (free) but born doesn't really tie in with confinement ..or does it ..Still thinking about this one !!

[rogerr]

Confinement also means imprisonment.

[swehttam]

thank you all for your assistance, I do not think it is born free now, but what ??

[rogerr]

Whats wrong with open prison?

[shaneystar2]

Rogers suggestion are good ..although I have never heard of these books .!
The only other thing I can come up with is The Long walk to Freedom ..Mandela .
Although on the other hand ..unconfined can mean Great and a confinement is also an Expectation as in pregnancy.
I'm rambling now !!

[rogerr]

I got the titles from Amazon!

[shaneystar2]

I did look them up Roger and they are not really books that a quiz compiler would throw into a quiz ..surely ? They seem a bit obscure .....I would have thought that a good compiler would have thrown in things like great classics,well known childrens literature...20th century classics and well known modern fiction.
What was that book Geoffrey Archer wrote ? That was something about prison wasn't it ?

[rogerr]

I see what you mean.
