Well, this was a good book, but too short to have been a book of the month. I read this one in the first week, and now I wish I would have chonsen a longer book. I did enjoy it though, and even though I have seen many different adaptations of it, from Scooby Doo to Giligan's Island, it was a bit different than I had imagined, and it's nice to have finally read the original.
I have selected a much longer book for November, so be ready to read this one at a good pace. If anyone is reading this, and better yet, if anyone is reading along with me each month, please feel free to suggest anything that is available on the net via Lynx.
