I mean that you need some self discipline because this book didnt really captivate me in the sense that I couldnt put it down.

For me, pace usually determines whether I will read the book or not, and I never really hesitated, or thought about changing books.This book was interesting to me, but I think that anyone aged(a) than I would find this book a slight bit easy, despite the fact that the author, Ester Forbes does use old English words that are no long-lived used.
