Rez.: Ein Roman in Tagebuchform (erschienen 1949) von der Erfolgsautorin der "101 Dalmatiner": Cassie ist 17 und lebt mit der Familie auf einem alten verfallenen Schloss in der Umgebung von London. Sie schildert ihr armseliges Leben (Vater war Schriftsteller und kann nicht mehr schreiben, es gibt kein Geld im Haus) und das ihrer Schwester Rose, die unbedingt einen Mann finden möchte. Der Zufall führt 2 Amerikaner in die Gegend, Grund genug, dass romantische Verwicklungen beginnen. Ein dickleibiger und bittersü er Liebesroman in der Tradition der Jane Austen (allerdings etwas einfacher gestrickt), für lange Winterabende.… (mehr)
Lirmac: The Greengage Summer and I Capture the Castle are both exquisitly-crafted books narrated by girls on the brink of maturity. Both are engaging and timeless, and neither descends into the clichés of the 'coming of age' story.
BookshelfMonstrosity: Although I Capture the Castle is a coming-of-age story, not a mystery, both witty novels are narrated by precocious girls who, left to their own devices by their eccentric families, pursue adventures within the confines of quiet English villages.… (mehr)
I wish I had stopped reading this BEFORE Cassandra's complete 180 personality shift, the second half of this was just awful and it's so sad because I was enjoying it up until she decided she was in love with Simon out of NOWHERE. I'm supposed to believe that after she spent the whole book setting him up with her sister because she wanted to? And I'm supposed to buy that ACTUALLY Rose and Neil were in love the WHOLE TIME and wtf poor Steven. Also the cover of this book said it's now "the most romantic movie of the year"... this is NOT A ROMANCE. The second half of this book is so jarringly awful compared to the delight of the first half. I loved Cassandra and now I can't stand her. I swear she has anti-character-development. What a disappointment.( )
A darling little story of young love and sisterhood. I listened to the BBC Radio production and it was a great little 2 hour adventure with Cassandra. ( )
This book was such a wonderful, enchanting and unpredictable read that by the end of it I felt like I almost was Cassandra, since her confessions, recordings and thoughts in her journals gave me a thorough insight into her. I also loved how the sections of the book were arranged in differently priced notebooks, which really demonstrated the progression of the story
It feels, reading it now, as if this is the story that every romantic comedy Hollywood has ever made has been trying to tell. And when we come towards the end of the book and a marriage proposal and happily-ever-after storyline seems to be in the offing, I was worried we were going to stray into that territory. But Smith is too good a writer, Cassandra too interesting a person to settle for this.

When I read a book, I put in all the imagination I can, so that it is almost like writing the book as well as reading it—or rather, it is like living it.
I am not quite Jane Austen yet and there are limits to what I can stand.
Noble deeds and hot baths are the best cures for depression.
