Today, I finished the first bundle of 'Father Brown' stories. Overall, I really enjoyed them, especially 'The Blue Cross' and 'The Invisible man'. These stories are more than detectives, sometimes they offer us some interesting comments on man and society.
Our every-day perceptions are often 'of', as is shown in 'The Queer Feet' and in 'The Invisible Man': we make too many assumptions about the world around us. Also, not all man are what they seem to be (examples are Aristide Valentin, General Sir Arthur St. Clare, and Sir Aaron Armstrong).
In some stories, I could follow Father Brown's explanations easily, but sometimes I had trouble with the details (the large brown bag in 'The Invisible Man', for example).
Overall, I really look forward to the following bundles with more of Father Brown's illuminating insights.
