A review by stagasaurus
The Children of the New Forest by Frederick Marryat
2.0
Gosh this needed editing. It assume there are edited versions out there. But I heard it in the original glory with all the racism, sexism, snobbery, and boring boring detail left in. The action was unbearably slow. The dialogue unbelievable.
Spoiler I don't care how oldy worldy you are, if your dog is injured, you don't waffle on for five minutes before checking on him.
I don't think ponies left all night in snow drifts with their legs tied together normally live to tell the tale.
At least Pablo got a cottage out of it.
This is exactly the sort of book I would normally enjoy. But it was utterly tedious.
