    Thank you so much for making this lens. I love Capture The Castle - I first read it when I was 17, and it is definitely one of my favourite books of all time. It's surprising then that I actually had no idea that a film had been made of it! I watched the trailer and it looks really good, so I shall have to watch the film at some point.

    Thanks for such a lovely comment, Melissa. I'm sure you'll love the film too, it does the novel justice and features some excellent actors.

    Wow! I'm so happy that you made this lens, after watching the film and I read the novel ( I know, shoulda been the other way around!) but absolutely loved this. 5 stars *

    Well I recommend visitors here head on over to your lens, because not only is it about living in a castle, but it's a true life story! Thanks for stopping by here.

    I have never read it, but now I HAVE to! What an excellent review! Thank you for the introduction.

    Thanks C, I hope you enjoy them!
  • KarenTBTEN Feb 1, 2010 @ 11:22 am | delete
    Book only! Like you, I read it when I was young. I've visited this page before -- just stopped back in to lensroll to "The Little Brown Book of Miss Emily". (I'm browsing classic young adult works this morning.)
  • WordCustard Feb 2, 2010 @ 9:40 am | delete
    Good to meet another fan of 'I Capture The Castle'. I haven't heard of 'The Little Brown Book of Miss Emily' so am making my way there next. :)
  • AddaptAbilities Jan 21, 2010 @ 2:43 am | delete
    I'm always looking for more books to read. I'll have to find a copy of this one. Thanks for the recommendation!
  • WordCustard Jan 21, 2010 @ 5:40 am | delete
    I hope you enjoy it as much as I did, Addy!
  • sittonbull Jan 21, 2010 @ 12:03 am | delete
    Came over from the beach to support your lens. Sounds like a chick story to me, but I love your enthusiasm and that by itself is enough to cause me to have a look.
  • WordCustard Jan 21, 2010 @ 3:01 am | delete
    Yes, I would have to agree that this great read is one for the girls (and women) but love the fact that you called by here. Much appreciated.
  • kimmanleyort Jan 20, 2010 @ 6:57 am | delete
    What a great SquidLit and you know that I am partial to them. I love the way you've highlighted each of the characters. You've given your own personal take on the book and the movie and told me just enough to generate interest. 5*
  • WordCustard Jan 20, 2010 @ 9:03 am | delete
    I'm so glad I tempted you to stop by this one, Kim! Thank you, I appreciate the kind comments, not least because they come from our SquidLit expert! :)

    Time for me to give some love to this fantastic lens!
    Blessed by an Angel, Nicki :)
    Congratulations on your new Giant badget and keep up the great job!

    Thank you! It means a lot I've been able to share my enthusiasm for a book (and film) that I love.
  • arncyn Dec 31, 2009 @ 12:41 pm | delete
    This sounds like something I would enjoy reading - I've never heard of it before I saw your lens so thank you for the introduction! I'm stoked that there's a film on it too. Will definitely grab hold of both the book and movie. Wonderful lens to read as always Nicki (:
  • WordCustard Dec 31, 2009 @ 4:40 pm | delete
    I really hope you love it as much as I did, Cynthia! Happy New Year, my friend.

    Great review of this book...makes me want to read it! I love your enthusiasm for the book. 5* and blessed.
  • WordCustard Dec 30, 2009 @ 10:41 am | delete
    Thank you! I love that I've been able to write about this enchanting novel here on Squidoo.
  • KarenTBTEN Dec 28, 2009 @ 4:57 pm | delete
    I read the book when I was very young, but not so young as when I read The Hundred and One Dalmations, the book that really imprinted Dodie Smith's name upon me.
    This is a very well done 'Squid Lit'.
  • WordCustard Dec 29, 2009 @ 9:43 am | delete
    Thank you very much, Karen. She was a wonderful storyteller.
  • Flynn_the_Cat Dec 26, 2009 @ 4:36 pm | delete
    I enjoyed that book! Great writeup, have a blessing!

    Good to meet another fan, Flynn! Thanks for stopping by and for the angel blessing! :-)

    I haven't heard of this novel but I did a short research and found the French title. This is a book that I'll surely read when I'll have some time (after having read the two biographies that are waiting for me already, lol). Seems interesting and well, includes some indispensable components for me to read a book that is not a biography, memoires, Agatha Christie, Martha Grimes or Joseph Conolly: England, castle...
    This is a great review and a great job!
    Dom.
  • WordCustard Dec 27, 2009 @ 3:25 am | delete
    I hope you get hold of a copy, Dom. It is such an engaging read... Thanks for the visit. :-)
  • HappySeasons Dec 25, 2009 @ 1:28 pm | delete
    I write this sitting in the kitchen sink is an interesting starting line for sure! Nice lens and I can see your passion for the book and the movie... good job. Matt :)
  • WordCustard Dec 27, 2009 @ 3:24 am | delete
    Thanks for stopping by, Matt! :-)
