turtlebean 's review for:
Harriet the Spy
by Louise Fitzhugh
I suspect this book was very formative. Read multiple times as a kid and am still charmed and entertained by this character as a grown-up.
The game where she eavesdrops on people at a diner and tries to guess what they look like? I love it.
I think the other readers who have deemed Harriet a sociopath are being a bit harsh. Most of us didn't have beautifully honed empathy when we were eleven, and she DOES care about the people around her (despite her extremely judgmental notebook) and grieves them whenever she loses them/they're on bad terms.
Did anybody else veto watching the movie because Michelle Trachtenberg looks nothing like the Harriet illustrations..? Ha. May have to watch now.
