I just started a new book, I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith. So far the book is pretty good, but I don't really have much of an opinion just yet. The book is a journal of a girl named Cassandra who lives in an old broken down castle in England with her family. Her family consists of her father, her fathers wife Topaz (her step-mother), her sister Rose, her brother Thomas, and their worker/adopted son Stephen. I am not far into the book yet but I already know that the family is very low on money, and life doesn't seem too bright. Nothing of action has happened yet, but the writing is really great and I can't wait for this book to get going!
Great post! I think I might steal this idea... sometimes I'm not far along enough in a book to even have an opinion, like you said. I might try to do a post like this next time I'm in this situation.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to read more about the book!
I'm glad to help! And I think that you will really like this book if you read it!
DeleteThat book sounds good, especially the part about the family living in a broken down castle! Post more when you get to the action. Overall, great job!

DeleteThis book sounds really interesting. And I agree with Leora; post more when you get to the action!
ReplyDeleteGreat post Clara! I think that sometimes the richness of the writing is enough to keep reading it. Maybe you can elaborate on the writing style that your book has in it? Anyways, I wonder what will happen throughout your book!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip!
DeleteThis book sounds great Clara! I can't wait to read your posts as you delve into the plot and explore the characters. Maybe next time you could voice your opinions more on what is going on.
