Sarah, Plain and Tall

Back in the days of my youth I attended an elementary school that required the students to do selected readings. Though this book, Sarah, Plain and Tall, was one of them I did not read this book, or rather I did not finish it. I tried my best to finish it. Perhaps it was because I was only allowed to read during class time, the fact I had to read out loud instead of silently in my head, or that I was required to read in a group. Whatever the reason I did not read this book in grade school, and it has remained on my reading list since.

Fast forward in time. I have just graduated college and I see this book at my local library. I remember that it is on my to read list and so I check it out. This book was a quick read. Simple, and like Sarah her self a bit plain. Despite all this I loved the book all the more for it. The simple read really helped me see the world from a child's simple perspective. The simplicity also helped make the little scenes of love that much more meaningful.

Though this book is not the most intellectual read I found this book quite enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this story for readers of all ages. I give it a 6.3/10.
