Book Review: The Secret Garden

I watched this movie a LONG time ago and thought I'd read the book. You can definitely tell a difference in writing style from present-day authors and authors in the late 1800s and early 1900s. If this story was rewritten by a contemporary author, I imagine it would be pretty different. Having said that, this book actually makes me want to start a garden. I know I have a brown thumb and everything I touch dies, but it all sounds so beautiful that I'd like to give it a try. This wasn't my favorite book that I've read. It's just kind of...well...boring. That sounds awful and I hate saying it because the author spent time and energy writing it, but it just wasn't my cup of tea. I like twists and interconnectedness among characters (aka Charles Dickens or JK Rowling). If you're an old soul you might like this.
