Book Review of I Capture the Castle

I Capture the Castle
donnamig avatar reviewed on + 16 more book reviews


A splendidly whimsical coming-of-age story that was, unfortunately, very poorly adapted for the movie. Cassandra, a budding writer, vows to "capture" her eccentric family in her journal. Instead, she ends up writing both romance and a mystery. By turns wildly funny and deeply sad, I recommend this book particularly for women 13 and up.
