Reviews

"This book has one of the most charismatic narrators I've ever met. Seventeen-year-old Cassandra Mortmain captures the castle in her insightful, witty journal entries." --New York Times bestselling author, J. K. Rowling "What a lovely book is I Capture the Castle. It's as fresh as if it were written this morning, and as classic as Jane Austen. I'm very happy to have met it." --Donald E. Westlake "A delicious, compulsively readable novel about young love and its vicissitudes. What fun!" --Erica Jong
