What a sad and beautiful story!!! I loved all about it. Well... Almost everything. The accent from Yorkshire: very hard to understand. But is so well written. The story is amazing and so the characters. The sweetest story read in this year!

I mainly read it because I think it’s a classic and should be read. Personally I didn’t like it, I could not relate to the characters and felt it lengthy most of the times.

Very sweet. Obviously, it has problems indicative of its original 1911 publication date, but the overall themes of love, friendship, kindness, and taking care of nature so that nature can take care of you are both timeless and exceedingly important. So overall I really enjoyed this!
