The General + Google = Bad Idea
So it has been mentioned a number of times in class the dangers of using Google (or Wikipedia, Yahoo, etc...). Since we began this project, we've been looking for anything that has to do with Forester that is not H.Hornblower-related. Just for fun, let's check out some of the garbage I found. It all seems to take a rather simplistic view of the novel, especially in light of our project here and our class discussions.
- on the Harry Potter fan site, MuggleNet, a review of The General
- PlanetPapers, an essay-writing service (that "does not condone plagiarism"), offers a paper on The General
- of course, Wikipedia's entry on The General
Enjoy!

Lol! I'm so glad someone else found the Harry Potter's site review too. I know it was terrible and all the bibliographical information was wrong, but I found it a bit comforting. The thought of scores of Harry Potter fans being made aware of this book, (and perhaps going and picking it up), gives me hope that, despite Forester's obscurity in academia, people will start to read and appreciate this book. Cheers on making a great blog!

Thanks for the nice comments, Kristina. I just hope I didn't rag on a 10-year old Harry Potter fan!
