Just Patty edition by Jean Webster C M Charles Mark Relyea Literature Fiction eBooks
I picked this up because I happened to come across the author's classic "Daddy Longlegs" and loved it. I was hoping for more of the same. Unfortunately, this book never really "comes together." When it opened, I was wondering if it was a sequel to some other book, as it seemed as if the characters had already been together having adventures. It's a loosely connected series of girl's-school adventures and pranks, mostly led by Patty. But one never really gets a feel for the characters, or WHY Patty gets involved in all these pranks. In one chapter Patty may have apparently good intentions; in another she doesn't seem to care what happens as a consequence of her actions. One never has any real reason to CARE about Patty or her friends. There's no sense of growth in the character (as is very evident in "Daddy Longlegs" and its sequel, "Dear Enemy"). So while I would still recommend the works of Jean Webster, this wouldn't be the place to start!Product details

Just Patty edition by Jean Webster C M Charles Mark Relyea Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
It was a very good book. I enjoyed all the accounts of Patty's mischievous spirit. An "innocent" girl at a boarding school with a penchant for trouble.
I love this!
My daughter loves the feel of old books and this one is excellent.
I have always enjoyed Jean Webster's books. This one was no exception. It is a very humorous story about girls in a boarding school.
Tiny print
Maybe this is an old title, almost historical, but it was so well written and interesting that you could easily see the events in Patty's life in your minds eye. Jean Webster was one of my mother's favorite writers, and having read another of her books out of curiousity, I had to read more. It's well worth it. Patty charms, tests, and changes you. A very good read.
This is a really funny book, and I stayed up late to finish it. Not because it is suspenseful - it's not - but because I was enjoying it so much. Each chapter is a story, about Patty and her friends in high school at the turn of the century.
Because the book was written so long ago, you would think it is hard to read. It's really not true - it's very light reading. I was rereading it when my siblings ages 10 and 12 asked me for a bedtime story, so I shared Patty's stories. I didn't read them straight, but told over the basic plot. They loved it, although of course they couldn't get the full impact of the story, because I couldn't mimic the dialog, only plot.
This book is a totally clean, enjoyable read, good for anyone (reading level) 14+.
