I loved this book. It was so rejuvenating and hopeful. I love the feeling of the moors and the secrecy of the garden. Dickon is the embodiment of perfection, and Mary and Colin are trying to slowly grow like him. This story should be on every parent's bookshelf! I love the thought of the garden bringing everything together.
WOW.... I cant say anything better than that this book was sensational! It took me away into another world. A world full of wonder and imagination. I could almost feel and smell the beautiful trees and colorful flowers. Oh, how I would love to take a walk through that garden, forget about everything and just relax by the nice sound of the robin and his friends. Wouldn't that be nice now. overall I would never get tired of this book, and of course I'll read it again.
Hey,<br>I didn't like the book the Secret Garden at all. The book was very VERY slow and boring. The book had no action. It should have had a better ending. Peace out!!!:P
While reading the secret garden, I found it intersting. I didnt care for the book at the beginning because there wasn't really anything happening. At the beginning though Mr. Craven is mean to his son Colin. Although at the end it turns out to be a great book! Mr. Craven comes home from his long trip in Europe he meets Colin in the secret garden. While Mr. Craven was gone Colin became better and learned how to walk. I like the part when Mr. Craven comes home and Colinruns to his dad and gives him a big hug!
After reading the book the Secret Garden I have formed an opinion of the writing style and detail in the book, which does not include the actual story, and I have formed an opinion of he actual story. The writing style and detail in which the book describes characters was actually not bad. The author took the whole book to characterize some people. As for my critique of the story, however I did not like it. It was more appealing to girls and even some girls thought it was too girly! Having been written in 1911 makes up for it and because I like the extensive amount of detail.
I did not like this book The Secret Garden because it did not have enough action and excitement like when they just worked in the garden day after day. I also did not like how it took so long for everybody to change attitudes and then all of a sudden Mr. Craven just changed so quickly. I also did not like the ending because I think it left you hanging. I think their could have been another chapter on the end to say what Mr. Craven and Colin did together as father and son and how their relationship changed.
I really liked the book. I thought this book was interesting in some parts. I liked it espeically at the end when they had a family reunion. I think the most interesting part was when they actully find the secret garden. I really did enjoy the book, sometimes there were magical parts and others mysterious. If I enjoyed the book I hope you will too. You will like this book if you like to garden, grow things, and like mysteries.
I believe this book is a truly fantastic piece of literature. Although part of this book was a little slow, because Mary does not show any enthausiasm in the begining of the book, but the action picks up in the latter part of the book. This gripping tale of change and magic is absolutely superb! I actually had to think in order to comprehend this complex plot.<br>Thank you and have a nice day.
I think the book was exciting because the secret of the garden kept me on my toes all through out the book. How people can change from such sour, mean faces to a light face when something joyful has swept over them. Embracing spots of magic wipes the dread of death away and makes them stand up straight. A person who could talk and understand animals as clearly we do each other. I think the book was exciting from the author to the reader.
I think that this book was pretty good. It was a little boring at times but for the most part it kept me interested. I think that Mary was a very good character, I loved how she changed from a little brat to someone who cared about life and had feelings because of the secret garden. This book will still be a classic for many for many years to come.
I liked the book but it didn't have a lot of action in it. Mostly it was about gardens,(I don't care for.) But the waiting of what was comming next was very exciting. Because you didn't know what was comming next. It could have been more full of action in it. I would have really liked it more if it was a war. It also was full of magic. Like when Colin was in the garden and he stood up, and he could walk. The ends of the chapters were most exciting, because you would not know what was comming next, so you have to read on and on untill you finish the book.
I thought it was a little dark and dreary, but there were some happy times. I did like the ending when Colin and his father had a wonderful reunion. The story was interesting on how the book was about Mary, the about Dickon, and then about Colin. When Mary found the key to the garden and then when she found the garden itself it was very mysterious, but since the book was mostly gardens the story seemed a little light and desperate. I didn't like how everyone in the story was unhappy. The animals and the idea of magic livened the book up, which was a good thing, but overall I wasn't impressed. It could have more excitment to it.
This was a great story, like the part when Mary finds a key to a secret garden and after that a mysterious breeze shows her the door to the secret garden. Although this was a good part in the story, there is a better part. And that is the part in the book that Mary goes to her cousins house and they make fun of her and thereafter the author used that same annoying joke throughout the story but split and I think that that is great because it shows that the author read the book as well as the reader.
I think ths book was ok. I liked it in some parts when Mary first went in the Secret Garden or when she found the hidden corridor behind the tapestry. I mean those parts were exciting but some weren't. One of the parts I didn't like was when they just working in the garden. Or when the robin though they were very different. Those parts of the book were ok but not very exciting. I like books that keep you on edge like a mystery. In the first 298 pages of the secret garden you solve the mystery in like the first hundred. That's really not keeping you on edge or wandering what will happen.<br><br><br> TerriersGal4
The sectret gerden was a very cool book. I admit that the begining was very slow but it got even more interesting when I got to the middle of the book. I have never seen the movie though. I really want to though. It was exciting when Mary was looking for the key and then the door. I loved the robin that showed Mary where the key and the door was. I think that the spirt of Mr. Craven's wife Lilias was inside the robin showing Mary to her garden so that it could be restored and alive again. She was also in the garden and I think she was the magic that helped Colin stand up, walk and get well again. The only thing that I didn' t like was the end. It should have more to it to make it osund better. I think this book is very cool because of the secret garden and the robin. <br>
