nas12 's review for:
The Secret Garden
by Frances Hodgson Burnett
This is such a wholesome little novel, a perfect tale for children, but also for adults to enjoy.
In a way it surprised me how the seemingly simple writing style managed to compel so much; because if this story is something it’s atmospheric. I felt myself contemplating the cold moors, sensing the kind loneliness only found in a big mansion and the joys of the magical garden.
As I said, one word to describe this story would be wholesome. The way the two unlikable main characters transforms themselves through the power of nature and friendship is beautiful. If I had to complain about something it may be that I expected a little bit more of magic, for this story to transcend itself and become more whimsical; but that has to do with my own wrong expectations.
The secret garden is considered a classic novel and rightfully so in my opinion. It’s definitely a book I would recommend, for it’s a fast read that will leave you with a warm feeling inside.
