Vic Brown fühlt sich von der hübschen Ingrid angezogen. Als ihre Beziehung sich entwickelt und verändert, kommt er mit der harten Seite des Erwachsenenseins in Kontakt. Ihm wird klar was es heißt, jemanden wirklich zu lieben
Ich musste dieses Buch für meine Englisch Abiturklausur lesen. Selten habe ich ein so schlecht geschriebenes Buch in den Händen gehabt. Schon nach einer halben Seite wäre ich fast eingeschlafen. Stan Barstow versucht sich mit umgangsprachlichen Ausdrücken, die fehlplaziert sind, lächerlich wirken und leider nicht dazu beitragen, das Buch dem leser näher zu bringen. Viel zu oft schweift er vom Thema ab und schreibt seitenlang über für die Handlung gänzlich irrelevante Dinge. Ich kann keinem empfehlen dieses Buch zu lesen und rate allen Lehrern ab, ihre Schüler damit zu quälen und langweilen.

Funny and poignant
11. August 2005
Format:Spiralbindung
Vic Brown becomes infatuated with Ingrid Rothwell, thinks for a while that he loves her, but realizes he doesn't. Then she becomes pregnant, and he decides to marry her. He is a decent guy at heart, and wants to do the right thing. But Ingrid's nagging mother is a major obstacle. Ingrid then has an accident and loses the baby. Despite the problem with the mother-in-law, Vic decides to stay married and to hope for "a kind of loving." The story is told through Vic's voice, which is a marvelous voice to listen to: Barstow is humorous and poignant. A hard novel to put down once you start reading it, it also remains with you long after you're finished with it. A wonderful book.

Loved this book when I first read it in the sixties. Now it seems even better, because time has made it into a piece of history. The era (which I can just remember) is portayed perfectly, the manners and values stand out so clearly. This is definitely, for a working class person, "the way we were".

She's PREGNANT? Whaddaya Mean I Gotta Marry This Chick?
7. April 2005
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I had to read this book for my Final Year in High School and I didn't like it one bit at the time. Now it is 25 years later and I re read it and I still don't like it. It is all about this guy named Vic who gets this girl Ingrid pregnant and then decides he has to marry her rather than face the derision of the people in his town. Then he moves into his Mother In Law's house with his new wife. That was his second mistake. Naturally the two of them don't get along and Ingrid becomes indifferent to his sexual advances causing tension in the household.Ingrid then loses the baby through a miscarriage caused by an accident and then Vic has no valid reason to stay with her. He goes to his sister who he has always had a close relationship with who advises him to stay married!!! That was probably the worst piece of advice I have ever read in a book. This is what happens when you care more about what people think of you rather than having the courage to stand alone and be different from the rest of the herd. The author give a very sad portrait of Working Class Life in England during the sixties and I am glad that we have moved on the a more progressive Society.Vic is a sad example of an egocentric guy who is ruled by his pathetic sexual needs. Read this book if you want to be amused at the antics of this loser who wants to have sex at any cost to himself or anybody else.
