    <body><![CDATA[It's really crazy reading the book after knowing the movie for so long.  <br/><br/>Dodie Smith's I Capture The Castle is one of my favorite teen novels, and it's all about clever girls, so I'm not sure why the lead female dalmatian's main characteristic is that she's kind of ditzy.  I'll assume it...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/78160254">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[It's a nice little story for children but feels a little dated now. I didn't know Dodie Smith wrote 101 Dalmatians until I read I Capture the Castle - which I loved. It's quite a bit below my reading level, even though I do enjoy reading many children's books.<br/><br/>What I liked about it though...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/29247194">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[My mom bought a paperback copy of this book from a garage sale when I was 9 years old. The book was a bit rough around the edges, but the story inside was and still is very much intact within my heart. I must have read it at least three times as a boy. To be honest I have never seen any of the movie...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/44108143">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I just read this book at the recommendation of my sister. She and I both loved another of Dodie Smith's books &quot;I Capture the Castle&quot;, and I felt that whoever created Cruella DeVille had to be completely brilliant.<br/>The story follows the basic plot of the Disney movie I watched growing ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/51193735">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[As much as I loved horse stories as a child, this book would probably rate as my all time favorite children's book.  I'm not even sure how many times I read it.  I've even read it several times as an adult--I love it that much.<br/>Don't let Disney lead you astray.  This book is so much bigger than...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/46323855">more...</a>]]></body>
