It has a wonderfully lyrical quality and it is so quintessentially English; I don't think Kenneth Grahame's descriptions the descriptions of the English countryside have ever been bettered. If I were only allowed to have one book it would be this one.Maya Panikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00267138697281149971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-23823626082678893462010-07-15T08:48:45.541-04:002010-07-15T08:48:45.541-04:00I don't get the appeal.

I didn't like how "adult" the characters were and didn't think any of them were good role models for kids.Rebecca Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06062252252301802298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-56212919395182913502010-07-14T08:47:23.805-04:002010-07-14T08:47:23.805-04:00Alyce - Glad I'm not alone!

I did feel like a bit of a failure for not loving it ...<br /><br />Ryan - We love Sleepy Hollow too! Kiddo had never seen it before and he really enjoyed it as well.<br /><br />Beth F - See, I KNEW there were people out there who loved this book. I'm so sad that it wasn't such a hit with me. :(Heather J. @ TLC Book Tourshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10474181812740579350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-19682504886682998382010-07-14T07:30:54.469-04:002010-07-14T07:30:54.469-04:00You all break my heart.

I don't think Aidan has ever read it either.<br /><br />I will say I love the Disney movie, but not as much as the movie paired with it. The Legend of Sleepy Hollow has to be my favorite Disney movie.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17786139533776263328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-85670181843089285262010-07-13T16:06:29.548-04:002010-07-13T16:06:29.548-04:00I didn't love this one either and I don't ...I didn't love this one either and I don't think my son did when he was younger, so you're not alone.bermudaonionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10726401178972099557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-53438423441291532522010-07-13T16:00:07.881-04:002010-07-13T16:00:07.881-04:00I'm not a big fan of the book either, but I lo...I'm not a big fan of the book either, but I love the ride.
