But its more like 2.5 stars/slightly better than just ok. So yes I am being generous giving it 3 stars. it seems to not matter in this book because Mary and Colin are actually husband and wife!īut as a novel entirely on its own with zero connection to my all time favourite story. Did anyone else remember that Colin and Mary are COUSINS!!!! Yet. It then got worse and took things to a whole other level. If they hadnt been connected to the original, they would have been fine. NOOOOO!!!! I didnt enjoy reading about them at all the way Holly Webb had written them. I did not like how the characters, Mary, Colin, Dickon and Martha were portrayed. I loved everything about it, the story, the characters. It had special photos inside and I just loved it. I was 8 when it came out as a movie in 1993 and my copy of it was the movie tie in edition (Which I got that Christmas, making me 9 yrs old). I hold The Secret Garden book very dearly in my heart. The story of the orphans going to live at Misselthwaite Manor, this HUGE house in the country which was so different to their London life. On one hand, the story itself, if it had NOT been a sequel would have been quite good! Written during World War 2, this MG story was done well. Im struggling to give it 3 stars because I am so torn. Im left feeling drained from my emotions about this book. Firstly, I need to point out that I do not think that is a bad book or that it is a bad book based on the writing.
