The Famous Five book 1, I thought, wasn't really my style at first glance - but, oh, how did I fall in love with the five adventurers, especially George!
George is a bit like me, so very stubborn and adventurous. Oh, but I really don't like Melbourne - nothing happens here for me!
And I am being frank. I will discuss my adventure that shall begin on the 17th of September and end on the last day of the month in another post, so for now let's dig deeper into Enid Blyton's story.
I thought that Anne was a bit of a silly girl who is scared of everything. To be honest, I'm nothing like her, even though I'm ten too. But of course she was the most adorable being in the story after Timmy.
Dick, I think, got less a quarter of the book to himself; why, Timmy was described more than he was. I do not exactly understand it.
Julian, the eldest, age twelve, was a very sensible boy whom I really liked at first, I believe. I cannot describe why - but he's such a darling!
And now for Timmy; Oh, Timothy the daring dog! Timothy, the baby of the story! The dear little animal! I understand why George cherished him so.
And while on other book reviews I write not about the characters but about the story itself, I have decided to try something else for a chance. All in all, The Famous Five 1 was a spectacular success, and I look forward to reading book three (since I'm already done with "2").
But now, the question - how many stars?
4.1, I suppose, for a few of the parts were a little dull, I think. But mostly the story of friendship was lovely!
I agree

ReplyDeleteHello, my name is Sophie. I remember that I read this book back in year 2, and I kind of disliked it, mainly because it really didn't hook me in, or make me very interested or intrigued. I find it really wasn't my genre, with all the describing being quite uninteresting and old styled, but it's okay if you enjoy it. I also believe that it isn't very creative, and I don't find kids going on adventures very fascinating. I like other books, though. Such as warrior cats, an amazingly intriguing book that hooked me up the moment I first read it! I just loved the way the author made the vocabulary so stunning and not just "said" and I mean, it's just so creative! Cats that live in clans/groups and each clan of cats had a medicine cat (doctor) and elders and cats that hunt for food, like, who would've thought! I really recommend it, and although it's quite sad because different cats die in each book, there are also humorous parts too. It's an amazing series of about 60 books I highly recommend.
