A review by crystalmethany
New Term at Malory Towers by Pamela Cox, Enid Blyton
4.0
Almost matches Blyton's style perfectly, so Cox's continuation feels familiar and very reminiscent of the good old Malory Towers we all know and love.
Some characters are uncannily similar to those of Darrell's time - Felicity, which some distinction tries to be made, is very much another Darrell (minus the temper) and Susan is very much Sally. June is practically Alicia's clone. Julie is Bill, Freddie is rather like Betty... Still, these parallels aren't necessarily all bad, it simply makes for a slightly repetitive reading experience. Overall, I found the book very enjoyable and a light, fun and entertaining read.
