The Wind in the Willows, by Kenneth Grahame


This was not a page turner for me. The leisurely (if sometimes dangerous) lives of these characters didn't draw me in and make me want to know more. Toad's personality is so exaggerated as to be gross. I did read the whole book and enjoyed most of the stories.

I truly appreciated the comments about friendship and proper form when around others - the comments about when to look away, when to disagree with the obvious, and when to do everything vs. force others to do their share were very interesting to me.

The battle to re-take Toad Hall from the weasels was wonderfully done.
