Janet Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 I Capture The Castle by Dodie Smith I've read this book as it's the July choice for my Quote
Kell Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 I've seen this one about & heard mixed reviews, but seeing yours, I think I'll give it a miss - it doesn't sound like my cup of tea at all. Quote
Anika Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 I just read this book, and I didn't know it was a teen story...? It's more of a romance, in my opinion. Albeit a mild one. They've re-issued it here recently so it was on the 'New Arrivals' table at Barnes & Noble, which explains my mistaking the category, and it didn't have the genre-type on the outside cover either. Good thing or I wouldn't have read it. I liked it, actually!! The descriptions were very good, and it kept my interest throughout, but then I'm NOT a fan of riveting, 'edge-of-your-seat' tension and suspense! Quote
Kylie Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 I really hope you are in the minority Janet, because I have this on my TBR pile. Quote
Janet Posted November 12, 2009 Author Posted November 12, 2009 It was a bookworms book, Kylie - 2 of us hated it and 6 absolutely loved it. Quote
Mia Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 It's a very long time since I read this, but I remember really enjoying it and lending it to my mum. She couldn't get into it at all! Quote
Mexicola Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 I loved this book and thought it a wonderful little story. Must read it again soon. Quote
NightOwl Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 I read this book as a teenager (I'd be around 13, I think) and found it wonderful. I have tried to re-read it since then, but it doesn't have the same feel: definitely a good read for younger readers, maybe not so hot for those of us with a more jaded outlook on romance! Quote
BookJumper Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 definitely a good read for younger readers, maybe not so hot for those of us with a more jaded outlook on romance!Would you say it's suitable for someone who doesn't qualify as a younger reader but whose favourite film remains Disney's Sleeping Beauty? It's on my wishlist as I've read some wonderful reviews; I'm 24 but very un-jaded (to the point that my wordlier friends tend to pat me on the head), d'you reckon I'd enjoy it? Quote
Mia Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 Well, I think you'd enjoy it. I was older than 24 when I read it and quite jaded, but I still liked it! Quote
BookJumper Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 That's comforting and good to know Mia, thank you ! Quote
