The Railway Children by E. Nesbit
2.0

*Listened to Audiobook and read eBook, both over Scribd*

A children's classic about three siblings who end up moving to the country and living beside a railway station, the story follows them befriending locals and getting up to mischief in the area surrounding their home.

This book was so boring. It is really short, and took me multiple sessions over the course of a week to finish it. Neither the audiobook or physical intrigued me.

I'm sure this book has some literary merit, as a classic, but I wouldn't recommend.
