But I still liked it… after all, if you can’t go over the top with Henry VIII when can you? Wives heads were flying and breasts were everywhere. Even my husband sat through the whole thing (could have something to do with the breasts, I suppose). Maybe not History Channel quality, but definitely an entertaining period film.
I first bought this book when I was about 16 or so – for some reason I didn’t get around to finishing it until now. It’s really a fascinating read about Tibet and the history of its exploration. I’ve seen those “Free Tibet” bumperstickers around, but never really knew what they meant – this book gave me some insight as to why Tibet is so revered and the history of the Chinese oppression. The author keeps the chapters fairly short and doesn’t get bogged down by too many details – interesting slice of history.
If nothing else, watch this for Beth’s wardrobe. It is a magnificent sight to behold. It is almost WRONG how much I love watching this show. It is completely addicting, even though it’s utterly ridiculous. The Dog says things like “now remember, this fugitive is a fisherman so once he knows we’re after him he’ll run to what he knows, the water… and mermaids.” Hm. Okay. Thanks Dog. So it’s over the top, but unlike a lot of other TV shows you can tell they all love and support each other, so I say Dog is worth your time.
