Book Review: I Capture The Castle, by Dodie Smith

I Capture the CastleI Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I Capture The Castle, by Dodie Smith
★★ and 1/2

Synopsis: The story of 17-year-old Cassandra and her family, who live in not-so-genteel poverty in a ramshackle old English castle. Here she strives, over six turbulent months, to hone her writing skills. She fills three notebooks with sharply funny yet poignant entries. Her journals candidly chronicle the great changes that take place within the castle's walls, and her own first descent into love. By the time she pens her final entry, she has "captured the castle" — and the heart of the reader — in one of literature's most enchanting entertainments.
In A Sentence: I have more complaints about the audio than I do about the actual book
