Jag läste den här boken med min bokklubb och det var spännande då jag troligen inte skulle ha löst den utan dem. 

Ibörjan tyckte jag inte om den, den var svår och jag gillade inte huvudkaraktären Mary.

Men sen när hon kom in i trädgården och träffade Dickon så blev den mycket bättre!

Efter det började jag gilla den mycket mer och mot slutet tyckte jag om den.

boken hade lite av ett ”klyschigt slut men tyckte ändå om den.

4.0

Aside from some comments about Indians and assumptions about being disabled, I think this book was enjoyable. I guess the comments about both were supposed to add to the realism of the book and I understand this was written during another time but idk
Still, I think aside from it was generally enjoyable.
