Awkwardness!

Hey guys, I realise I forgot the review I promised.
Oops!
So... awkward.....
Also, I'm sorry for not reviewing for so long.  *Hides*
Alexia: Why are you hiding?
Me: You'll see.....

Here we go.

Swallows and Amazons

Author: Arthur Ransome

We have here the more recent edition, picture off Amazon. Swallows and Amazons is about a group of four siblings who take a boat, Swallow to an island on a lake to camp. I'VE BEEN THERE! ...... Sorry.....  random insert of mania. What I meant was that I've been to the inspiration. Anyway, these kids wind up chasing two girls over the lake and later befriending them. The "Amazons " then help the "Swallows" launch an attack on the unfriendly Captain Flint and his houseboat. Okay, so maybe that's not quite how it happened, but close enough. I liked this book as it is possible, unlike most of my readings. The characters are must more relatable, as they have no ties to other worlds, races or The Shire. I am, for future reference, a
MASSIVE LORD OF THE RINGS FAN!
Although this book is beyond fault, the one fault is that is is quite formal and moves slower than some nowadays books.

I would recommend this book for 7+ years. However, it is not romantic or overly dramatic, though the series develops in drama as it goes along. I know this book isn't quite to everyone's taste, but try it, and see what you think. Especially if you like things set late 20th century.

My favourite character in this book is Susan, though in later books it is Dot, or the twins from Coot Club.
