katieinca 's review for:

I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith
4.0

I loved how this book was so old fashioned and so modern at the same time. And so romantic, but without all the pat happily-ever-afters. And how it made me go "oh, to be seventeen again" and at the same time "oh thank god I'm not."

Reading this on the same day as [b:Drama|13436373|Drama|Raina Telgemeier|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1330157763s/13436373.jpg|18940474] is highly recommended. Go from a semi-naive thirteen year old to a seventeen year old with some serious perspective in just 575 pages, and travel back in time while you do it! (Thanks, vacation!)
