omqchristi 's review for:

The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett
2.0

Ratings:
Stars: 2/5
Readability: 1/5
Plot: 2/5
Recommend: No

Summary:
Following the death of her family due to cholera, Mary goes to live with her uncle. All alone in her uncle's mansion, Mary spends time in the gardens, where she discovers a magical secret.

What I Liked:
There were occasional points where it was a bit humorous, but they were few and far between.

Mary's relationship with Colin and Dickon was nice.

What I Didn't Like:
Mary was very annoying. She was just as spoiled as Colin, but she thought herself better. She isn't.

Overall:
I honestly don't know why I thought this would be an easy book to get through. I guess I really didn't realize how similar it would be to the old classics, I thought it would be more modern and easier to get through.
