I was shocked reading this as I found it some what enjoyable despite not being the biggest fan of Blyton. This is most likely due to having areas of study in mind whilst reading. At first I did find the writing style and protrayal of the characters abit pretentious, due to the time period written and set in, but as the story progressed that aspects did die down. I liked the progress of Georgina 'George'  accepting her cousins and creating a friendship which affecting each other. The last couple chapters were my favourite I enjoyed the pace as well as the tension that was throughout, as well as the ending, which I expected, but was a sweet ending for a children's book.
