 I really enjoyed Burnett’s writing style–pretty without being flowery, with a good plot engine that kept things moving along. The characters were memorable though Sara Crewe is leaning just slightly towards being too perfect. Her hardships and temper were the things that really kept her tolerable. The attic bedroom (and transformation) were memorable and magical. I found most of the supporting cast bland or lacking in realism.
