    Kinda Boring!!!!!!!!!

    The Secret Garden for some people is the beat book ever. But in my opinion it was kinda boring. I am in an advanced reading class at my school but even for me this book was badly written and hard to read. I didn't finish it so I can't tell you much more than that.

    The best book in the history o the best books

    At first the main character Mary Lennox is a spoild brat but after she finds the secret garden she starts thinking about other people and their feelings. At first I though it was boring but after I read the 1st chapter it was really interesting. It is a book you will want to read over and over again. So if you go somewhere and happen to see the book you should get it and read it. You sure won't regret it.

    It made me feel all warm inside!

    This was a wonderful book! It's one of those books that when you finish it, you want to read it again. The main character of the book starts out as a spoiled brat, but when she moves, it all changes! She meets a boy with physical problems and discovers the "Secret Garden"! A refreshing novel!
