maggiecn 's review for:

The Borrowers by Mary Norton
4.0

I never read this book as a kid, and to be honest, I only read it now because the upcoming movie The Secret World of Arietty is based on this book, and I have a policy of not seeing movies based on books I haven't read. I quite enjoy the premise of the book and think that Miyazaki will have a lot of fun playing with it. Arietty was a delightful character. I probably would have loved this book as a kid, and it was still entertaining now, but I don't see it as anything too special.
