I Capture The Castle Reviews

"This book has one of the most charismatic narrators I've ever met" * J. K. Rowling *
"The appeal of the book is that of a time of innocence . . . When a girl of 17 could still be all but untouched by sexuality. At the same time it captures the pangs of growing up and unrequited first love." * Observer *
"A book for everyone who is young, poor, fed up and yearning for something exciting to happen" * Irish Times *
