PangoBooks readers have mixed feelings about this classic. Many express a deep fondness for the story, highlighting its touching narrative of growth and transformation, and praise its vivid portrayal of nature and the secret garden as a haven. They appreciate the character development, especially Mary Lennox’s evolution, and find Colin’s storyline particularly compelling from a psychological perspective. However, some readers feel the book's pace drags in places and detect elements of propaganda woven into the narrative. Despite these criticisms, the book remains a beloved childhood favorite for its enchanting depiction of nature and self-discovery.
