... there and events take on a new meaning. They seem more real and more relevant to the lives of the characters and this in turn generates more interest for the reader. The Eye in the Door also benefits from focusing predominantly on Billy Prior - easily the most interesting character in Regeneration - and showing us how the war has affected his outlook and attitude. Ironically (since he is fictional), Prior always seemed the most real and genuine of the characters in Regeneration; the one readers were most likely to id...more

After the disappointment of Regeneration (see my earlier review), I was unsure whether to read The Eye in the Door - part two of Pat Barker's Regeneration Trilogy. Eventually, though, curiosity and my stubborn nature got the better of me and I started to read it. To get the motivation to read it, I did a deal myself: I decided to give it 50 pages.

Rivers, Billy Prior and Siegfried Sassoon, with the introduction of new characters such as Charles Manning, Beattie Roper, Robert Ross and Patrick MacDowell. The novel starts off with the life of Billy Prior after his ... Read the complete review
