Incendiary

Monday, April 2nd, 2007 | Book

I’ve rarely been able to not read the book one of my favourite actor’s/actresse’s upcoming projects was based on. ‘Incendiary’ by Chris Cleave - to be made into a film starring Michelle Williams, Ewan McGregor and Matthew Macfadyen - is no different. However, it took a while to get comfortable with the writing style. You could say I am a ‘grammar freak’, not only when it comes to my native language but also - or even more - when it comes to another. I have spent many hours learning how to spell English - and then to have an international bestseller that’s written with absolute no commas and horrid sentences and spelling mistakes (e.g. I would of thought) left me quite perplex. I needed a few pages to forget about the writing and only focus on the story and thoughts. Then however, I was impressed by how real the characters felt. I hope they’ll be able to have that in the film as well. But then I doubt Ewan and Matthew would be attached were that not the case.
