[quote=Anonymous]Anne of Green Gables stood the test of time--was actually surprised at how [i]well[/i]-written and funny it was reading as an adult. (Montgomery's other books, not so much...) Agree that Wrinkle in Time was a bit dull (and my kids were also not at all into it). Similarly, when listening to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with the family on audiobook, I was surprised at how loooong it took for Charlie to actually get to the factory--that was basically the only part I remember from my childhood read lol. I had to basically push the kids to make it to that point (and then DS at least really enjoyed it). I personally enjoyed reading some of the original Winnie the Pooh books to my kids (again they were not particularly into it), but was struck by how much the writing did not really seem directed to kids--more to adults remembering childhood.[/quote]
