While I quite enjoyed the main plot, I felt it was plodding in some spots.

While I love the magic of Enid Blyton, I was disappointed that the majority of the adventures and rescues were instigated by the boys. The girls seemed to cry a lot, and need protecting. Perhaps I shouldn't re-read my childhood favourites after all.

Addiction level - 5/5, writing - 3/5,

Shame on all my Aussie friends for not insisting I read this as soon as I became a citizen. Should be required reading. Beautiful, poignant and funny. It's so much more than a whodunit. I loved it.

My 5 year old really loved it. Some of the humour went over his head, but I laughed :)
