As a child I loved the adventures of the Famous Five.Recently I read this book and was somewhat appalled. Enid Blyton has been criticised for sexism, elitism and racism. I can now see the very first two faults in this book. George is a tomboy, and says to Jo, another tomboy, "You're as good as a boy." Out of the Five, Anne is the only real girl, and in this story she plays a very minor role. She misses out on the real action. The lower class paper boy is treated with condescension by the author. There is also a disturbing level of violence directed towards Jo in this book. She is beaten by her father, and twice by Dick. Although Dick beats her by mistake, she still gets injured.On top of this, she doesn't mind when Dick beats her, because she likes him. This is a very unhealthy state of affairs.As usual the action is gripping,but the author's anti-social attitudes are a real worry.

This book was the best book I've ever read! People usually prefer 'Five run away together' but that came second to me.
I really really really really really enjoyed the book!
