shayneyj 's review for:
Tom's Midnight Garden
by Philippa Pearce
The memories this book brought back. So much nostalgia and emotions.
This does have such a beautiful and innocent story to it, which is so beautifully written to add on top, but it didn't hit me and captivate me the way I thought it was going to. I really enjoyed it and it did bring back so many memories for me from childhood, because even though I haven't read this book before, I loved this movie. Maybe if I hadn't and that film hadn't meant so much to me, then maybe this book would have hit me more and felt so much more special to me. I then wouldn't have been expecting certain things and it would have impacted me more.
There was such a unique and special relationship between the two main characters and the way in which this story develops the characters and their relationship with each other, was really good to see. The growth of both themselves as individuals, what the take and learn from each other. I love children's classics because you can find so much meaning in the most strangest of places and the emotions that then overtake you.
