Questions!

OK...

1) Did you like this book?
2) How would you have responded to Corelli in the last chapter? I would have been just like Pelagia -except (hopefully) much more skilled in the art of yielding a cast iron frying pan. The man did deserve a good wack.
3) Did Corelli and Pelagia waste their lives alone? Should they have found love in someone else or would it have been "second best" is there such thing as a love so true, you would be unable to "recover" from it's  untimely "end"?

Captain Corelli's Mandolin Question Two

In light of current events with our American military and the policies on homosexuals, how appropriate is the Chapter 4, written by Carlo Piero Guercio....
What do you think about his statement?
"What could I say to such priests and doctors? I would say to the priest that God made me as I am, that I had no choice, that He must have made me like this for a purpose, that He knows the ultimate reasons for all things and that therefore it must be all to the good that I am as I am, even if we cannot know what that good is. I can say to the priest that if God is the reason for all things, then God is to blame and I should not be condemned."
