The Real Tom Brown's School Days - Book | azovfilms.com featuring rare
coming of age films from around the world.
SYNOPSIS: The delicious follow-up to his successful novels, Chris
Kent returns to his favorite theme of public school boys - this time through a
clever retelling of Thomas Hughes Victorian children's novel, "Tom Brown's
Schooldays". In Kent's version, the boys have a lot to learn, but will their
naughty headmasters get their just desserts in the end?
EDITORIAL REVIEW:
Frankly, I am amazed that Chris Kent gets away with it but I'm glad he
does. In The Real Tom Brown's School Days, Kent has taken a
timeless, classic English novel, which is frankly second-rate twaddle, and has
reworked it into a page-turning experience that leaves you as breathless as most
of the boys who appear in the book. Some readers will be put off and
others turned on by the o-so-graphic sex, but there's far more to the book than
sexual titillation - it's tale that manages to be poignant, moving, realistic,
fantastical, incredible, unbelievable, and hugely entertaining. If the
full-in-your-face sex is representative of life in English boarding schools then
and now, I for one am sorry I went to a state day school! All I can say is
that Chris Kent devotees will love Tom Brown, and new-comers to
his work will be converted or disgusted in equal methods. Hurrah for
Tom Brown! Hurrah for Chris Kent!.

My two cents: you'll see
Alex Pettyfer in our DVD version of
Tom Brown's School Days in a
whole different light! If this were a movie, it'd be illegal!
