I proof listened to an audiobook version of this novel for Librivox.org. I hadn’t read it since I was a child, but it remains a gripping, well-told story, especially when heard in the charming voice of Ayesha Ashraf.

cute but a bit repetitive

It took me a little longer than I expected to finish it. I remember loving the movie when I was a kid and it was a great experience to actually read the story. It was slow for me to read—way different from most of the books I usually read now, and though I felt a slight connection to the book I couldn’t help but find it a tad bit boring.

It was still a nice read and I’m looking forward to watching the movie for the first time in a while.
