The Secret Garden
//The Secret Garden // The Secret Garden was written by Frances Hodgson Burnett. What makes a girl change her feelings for others? That is the question that the book Secret Garden struggles to answer. The Secret Garden is a horrible book that you should avoid.

The problem with the plot is in the beginning, a disease starts to erode away the heath of people, and when it says, people are either dying or running away it did not make sense. An example would be instead of the author stating the problem right away, and when she does that the book becomes a sea of wondering who and where the setting starts out. A better idea is when the book progress the problem should be small and then progress as well.

The theme could have been more exciting and detailed. A girl named Mary starts out bitter, and worrying about others does not concern her. Then in the end she is lovable, and sympathetic. It should be bringing up more of her compassion, and, or cruelty. The setting was very confusing, and I could not follow when it changed back and forth from a character’s bungalow to Misselthwaite Manor. Also I could not truly distinguish the time period whether it is in the past, present, or future.

When the author explained about the characters they left out some of the other character’s background which I hoped to learn more about, like Ben Whetherstaff, Lady Lennox, and Captain Lennox, and Mr. Craven. The language of the book was also confusing when the author used figurative and literal language. Sometimes I could not understand whether it was figurative or literal.

For book lovers I would not recommend this book, because of its length, and time it took out of my day to read. I hope you will take my word for it, so you won’t have to waste your time with this long, plain book.
