Of all the LMM books I've re-read the past three years, I so believe I enjoyed this one the most. Mind you, I haven't revisited Anne or Emily yet. Believe it or not, I really can't remember what is ambiguous about the ending, though.Amy @ Hope Is the Wordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07949836482747469686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4829223433007649672.post-56128298741215183642011-01-11T17:13:40.174-05:002011-01-11T17:13:40.174-05:00Rachel, it's an ok book.

Mainly because Valancy refuses to listen to her family and does her own thing. In the end everything turns out ok and her family is shown to be a little hypocritical. I'm not sure that a teen could separate the need for fictional rebellion with the concept in real life. I'd rather err on the size of caution.Stephanie Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02976709475515458563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4829223433007649672.post-3492612694111412072011-01-11T11:12:01.816-05:002011-01-11T11:12:01.816-05:00LOL to Rachel's concluding remark.
Yes, when ...LOL to Rachel's concluding remark.<br /><br />Yes, when I saw your e-mail I thought, "Oh she will! She will!" But I didn't want to say anything. I just hoped you'd like it. ;D Thanks for giving it a shot. <br /><br />I picked that title to name the business after because I wanted something more subtle than anything Anne to throw people off of my trail a bit. ;) And none of Montgomery's other titles really seemed suitable. So walla! The Blue Castle. And I always like telling people the why behind the name anyway.Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772667430500306088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4829223433007649672.post-20535652034379362802011-01-11T07:44:58.464-05:002011-01-11T07:44:58.464-05:00I've never read any other of her books that ar...I've never read any other of her books that aren't Anne. I can't decide whether or not you recommended the book either. :)Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15534192782828039660noreply@blogger.com
