Review: Couldn't Gobble It Up Fast Enough - You know you've got a good book on your hands when you read it in great heaping helpings until you feel woozy and sick, and you still want more. I sat down to read this book and suddenly had chewed up almost a hundred pages and felt quite spin-headed, and later that day I read fifty more pages because I just couldn't get enough. *That* is a good book, my friends. The story concerns one Mary Lennox, a ten-year-old British girl who grows up in India and loses her parents to a cholera epidemic. She is shipped off to England to live with her uncle, whose wife died ten years ago. The wife had an accident and died, and the uncle is still broken-hearted and has retreated from the world. Mary, a contrary and difficult child, slowly comes to life in her new surroundings and makes friends among the servants and their families and with the uncle's own son, a sickly boy named Colin. Colin has all but given up the will to live, and it falls to Mary to wean him off his pessimism and bring him back to life, which process takes up the bulk of the book. The writing style of this book is fluid and graceful, its vocabulary sophisticated without being difficult. It is an engrossing story about a little girl with some room for improvement, who slowly learns to embrace life and improves for doing so. I have met people who didn't like Mary that much, but I enjoyed her company throughout the book and found it hard to let her go at the end. Her friends are likewise engaging; *all* the central characters are well realized and lively, and the dialogue flows by naturally and reveals the characters well. Though this book was first published over a hundred years ago it reads easily to the modern ear, and there is much here for modern readers to enjoy. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B071KFMPJN | | Accessibility | Learn more | | Best Sellers Rank | #62,067 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #3 in Children's Europe & Russia Fiction #22 in Children’s Books #24 in Children's Classic Literature | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (21,355) | | Enhanced typesetting | Enabled | | File size | 889 KB | | Grade level | 3 - 7 | | ISBN-10 | 9781542098649 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1542098649 | | Language | English | | Page Flip | Enabled | | Print length | 180 pages | | Publication date | August 8, 2017 | | Publisher | AmazonClassics | | Reading age | 8+ years, from customers | | Screen Reader | Supported | | Word Wise | Enabled | | X-Ray | Enabled | ## Images ![The Secret Garden (AmazonClassics Edition) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Gq6w9AdQL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What a wonderful story! *by A***R on October 24, 2025* There’s a reason this book is a classic, and always will be.
