The Secret Garden Audiobook

" A childhood favourite, the story of a young orphan finding herself through new friends and unexpected adventures. A secret-filled book that is as much of a page-turner now as it was when I was ten. "

" This is my first time reading the secret garden, and I did not even watch the cartoon series. Truly a classic. Though its a children book , I enjoyed it as an adult. The book is showing us that magic is everywhere you just have to look and enjoy. And that is exactly what happened to Mary and Colin, they changed from being spoiled and annoying kids to be loving and caring. And that we cannot be sad forever over losing a person, The kids found the secret garden and turned it from a dead sad place to living and wonderful garden though they knew this is where Colin's mother died. I thought it was a great book simple honest and clear. Contain lots of lessons to both kids and adults. And most importantly made me want to grow a garden :) "

" This book a is an inspirational story of a little boy and a little girl, who, thru a secret garden, hidden and locked away, discover their joys. "

" This brought my contiued facinsation with hidden worlds! "

" I read this book when I was a child because my father thought it was a great story. Hard to believe it was written over 100 years ago and it is a timeless children's book story. I really didn't remember much about it when I started re-reading but as I went further it started to come back to me. The themes of an orphan and a secret hiding place and the tame animals and the powers and beauty of nature are all themes that would have appealed to me as a child. I had forgotten the emphasis on "magic" that makes the little boy Colin well again. I'm sure that is the theme that appealed to my father as it was an obvious reference to believing in a higher power - a religious renewal. The emphasis on the specific dialect was a "new" writing tool at the time the book was written - and does have its drawbacks. Plus the child rearing and social class strata were a bit dated but the author concentrated on the positive over the negative - which helped the story for a young audience. "

" hadn't read this book in a very long time. I'd forgotten how good it really is. Highly recommended for all ages "

" I rarely remember books that I've read. However, this one has stuck with me my whole life! I remember being intrigued by the crying she would hear. And the garden itself of course! "

" I liked it...fairly interesting, and catches attention in some places. "

" A lovely short classic written about a boy and girl who were spoilt, rude children who slowly became likeable and joyful with the help of another little boy and the discovery of the Secret Garden. It's a sweet story with the odd funny moment and a happy ending. "

" First book i ever read in english =) "

" I kept on asking myself if I loved this book or not. I guess not enough to give it 5 stars. "

" Childhood favourite! Transported me to another world. "

" One of my favorite books for over 30 years...Read every spring no mater what, now read it to my daughter "

" Never read this book as a child, but I am so glad I finally did as an adult! Truly loved this book... "

" I liked this book but then I also like, very much and have read several times, The Wind in the Willows. It's that kind of read that takes you to a special place and makes you believe you can still be young. "

" Timeless classic. I enjoyed Burnett's writing style. "

" One of my favorite books. Its the type of book thats timeless. I read it when I was little and I enjoyed and when I read it now I enjoy and appreciate it. "

" This rewritten classic for younger readers wasn't a bad place to give our 5 year-old a taste of the classic story without totally losing her attention in the language of the original. That said there is obviously a bit lost from the artistry of the classic novel. "

" A cozy classic for kids. I can't believe I waited so long to read it! "

" Not my favorite Burnett, but still lovely. "

" I love this book. Rereading it on my iPad to bring back the memories. :) "

" Hay, nh? nhàng, tuy c?u trúc truy?n không logic l?m và hoi nhàn nh?t, nhung bù l?i không khí thiên nhiên, d?ng quê trong truy?n thì tuy?t v?i. Ð?c xong ch? u?c có d?a b?n nhu Dickon. "

" One of my first forays into reading a classic novel. I first read it in primary school and it was full of magic for me. "

" I've read this about 6 times. So should you. "

" One of my favorite books (that wasn't about animals) when I was growing up. "

" I read this to Paul and Lila, and we loved it. I don't think I've ever read it before. I didn't realize how much it is about the power of positive thinking. "

" I cannot count how many copies of this book I have bought. It is the perfect gift for a ten year old having a birthday. It brings back wonderful memories of a teacher reading to the class. Thank you Mrs. Jackson. "

" I really like the book but if I were rating the musical (which is amazing!), I'd give it 5 stars. It's one of my top 3 musicals. "

" It was as beautiful as I remember. A perfect read-aloud: we got to that magical point when no one, not even Mom who has a million things to do, wants to put it down. "

" One of those old books that when you start... you have to finish. What I recommend is: Watch the movie. Seriously. It might be different but it still gives the main point(s). Bleh... "

" My first english book I read for pleasure and not because someone told me to do so. "

" A book I would love to read again. Forever a childhood favourite. "

" Wish I had a secret garden. "

" All ills will be overcome by fresh air , hard work, and hot potatoes, with perhaps a bit of skipping. Orphaned? Unloved? Stop whining, get to work and you will be happy. We could use more of this attitude today! "

" Re-read this a few years ago and promptly planted a climbing rose. True story. "
