5.0�toiles sur 5 A lesson in characterisation, Avril 4 1999

Par Un client

Short but sweet, this virtue is a rarity.

It is a treat to observe how the author has described Mr Chips in such a subtle manner while telling a story that the reader does not notice it, unless he or she consciously pays attention to Hilton's masterful characterisation.

The best part about the length of this book is that one can read and reread it many times to fully appreciate its underlying quality.

This review is from: Good-Bye, Mr. Chips (Hardcover)

I had hoped for very good things from this book, but the good things are just too thin, such as they are, and too far between. Chips has a narrow world-view and is completely out of touch with most everything. He is married briefly and his wife dies. He retires in 1913 but cannot bear to move away from the boys school where he has taught so many years. His life seems to be taken up by staring across at the school and reading detective novels. It is hardly enough to sustain a reader's interest.

During the World War he returns to the school temporarily, while the faculty is thinned out by army recruitment. During all this, he seems almost proud of his ignorance in such things as movies, popular music, etc. The only part I found interesting was Chips' tribute to a former teacher who taught German at the school, the man having been killed in the German army.

Hilton also wrote several short stories featuring Mr. Chips, but they are no better.

4.0�toiles sur 5 My opinion of Good-bye Mr. Chips, Nov. 25 2002

Par	mallory west (inplz, in usa) - Voir tous mes commentaires

Good-bye Mr. Chips was a good book for short, recreational reading.
Mr. Chips is an elderly man who tells about his life as a school teacher.
He also tells all about his wife, whom he loved very much, but whom died an early death.
Through out the book the stories of the past are told by Mr. Chips as he sits in his chair drinking tea. He is very kind and
he loves the boys at the school.
