The Thorn Birds Review: Barbara and Richard...in the Mini-Series version.. Loving the Thorn Birds, a MUST have for your own collection. Seriously. - When writing, acting, music, and films had something to say and told us a story. I did not really understand the big deal about Barbara Stanwyck when I was 16 as I intensely watched this. 30 something years later, I began watching Turner Classic Movies and I taken the time to enjoy ALL of her films and I was made to appreciate the Thorn Birds even more. I felt for her soul all the way. She was in pain with love and lust and her eyes weren't old, her heart wasn't old, her desires weren't old, it was only her body. If Father Ralph met Stanwyck in her earlier day opposite Henry Fonda, I bet that Father De Brisscart would not have needed to feel pious and wholesome. I love Meg and Father's relationship the most. I had feels just like for much older men into their late 28s when I was 11 and in the 80s, it was a fantasy, but now it is a Scarlet Letter, a stalking and being a prisoner of life. Well executed film for TV and worth having in your permanent film collection. Also, I got the DVS version, but this does not matter, the seller was excellent and they did not disappoint, not a one, and also, the package was sealed in clear wrapping to show the care they took to sell this. Another awesome story from the 80s.....The book and the mini series will always be the best and not that new junk that they have the nerve to remake. Who ever remakes this should have "old Hollywood" return and break their knee caps and watch a LOT of excellent films so that they will learn how to cast, budget, use a camera, spend the money, and much more, It would be the best knee cap breaking these young Gen Y film makers can hope for. I really do mean break every bone in a dirt-bag's knee cap. No Joke. A great film or excellent performances would be left alone to enjoy and to savour. NO one should remake what has already been done. Gen Y...WHY? Watch this mini-series, it is better than a theatrical release and well worth keeping, I 'll never forget this from my HS teenage years. I loved those two together when Sidney Penny grows up and becomes Rachel Ward..now THAT is excellent casting. 80s women were real and beautiful, talented, not snotty and not blonde, dead goodness too many blondes, too loud and dress terrible for professionalism. Give us back the men who look like real men and women who inspired other women for being the strong silent type. Thank you Colleen MC Collough. You captured telling a story with Australian History, took our minds to a place we have never been before and created work for hundreds of perfectly, gorgeous talents people who did not need to be a ho or shout or to be on You Tube for attention. This was the real thing. Thank you. Buy it as the novel AND the film. either way, no waste of time shall you ever consider this art in motion to be. Long Live Rachel Wood and Richard Chamberlain in the film version and how Colleen pictured them exactly as they came to life on screen. Review: Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful - There aren’t enough good things to say about this book. The language, the story, the history – all so rich and vibrant. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 0380018179 | | Best Sellers Rank | #12,873 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #122 in Contemporary Literature & Fiction #270 in Family Saga Fiction #1,280 in Literary Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (16,311) | | Dimensions | 4.19 x 1.06 x 6.75 inches | | ISBN-10 | 9780380018178 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0380018178 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Part of series | The Thorn Birds | | Print length | 704 pages | | Publication date | May 1, 1978 | | Publisher | Avon | ## Images ![The Thorn Birds - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91ZexYP+QJL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Barbara and Richard...in the Mini-Series version..

The language, the story, the history – all so rich and vibrant. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The second reading is better and bittersweet *by L***A on September 18, 2021* I met a woman whose life seemed to run parallel to mine, only several decades apart. Our friendship grew quickly into something special for both of us while she grieved a terrible loss very few could understand. I understood because each of my miscarriages brought a familiar ache even though mine had been years before. She understood as I grieved the slow loss of my mother's friendship to Alzheimer's. Because her family had managed an elders home. When my dear friend shared that she would be returning to Australia, I knew I needed to prepare myself for her absence. I thought of ways I might adjust to weeks without our coffee mornings and afternoons at the park with her beautiful son. Then to understand her news from the far away continent would be to read The Thornbitds as I had with mom. When she talked of returning to Australia, I knew the obvious next step was to read the book again . I had forgotten so much about Australia, the beautifully written romances and the horrors of nature in Australias definition of nature. As I re-read this beautiful book I saw reality replayed while I watched Australia on fire in the news. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Thorn Birds - Gone with the Wind --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/4394140-the-thorn-birds](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/4394140-the-thorn-birds) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-05-02*
