The 39 Steps by John Buchan
3.0
I haven’t read nearly as many Classics as I’d like and I’d heard it was a book worth reading!
I found the first few chapters a bit hard going and thought about putting the book down, was it really for me...? Not something I would usually read, but no. I’m no quitter, I wanted to see the story through and I can say, I’m glad that I did!
I enjoyed the storytelling, the clever ways he evaded capture from his pursuers and I was unsure how it was all going to be resolved..! It was intriguing and a nice little read overall, I thought it ended a little too quickly but still can understand why it’s on the BBC Big Read’s poll as one is the UKs best loved novels. I’m glad I gave it a chance and didn’t abandon it at the beginning! 3/5
