this was NOT a classic read. Even for a book written in the 1930's, it was incredibly annoyingly macho-male to the very end. The female roles were all pretty-girls with no brains who took the back seat; the book in itself was kinda dry and absolutely conventional. Wouldn't read it if I were you.

DREADFUL!! I suggest that nobody who wants to read a classic novel waste time over this book. I might have liked it when I was ten. The plot was absolutely silly; there was incorrect grammar (i.e. persitent incorrect use of the word "also") which can get very annoying and spoil an entire read. It's about a perfect little girl whom everybody's falling in love with. Hey, we all need something interesting and different, right?
