i read the book in my english class and after we have read and assess the book we be tell that we be in for a treat because we have do such great work . we be allow to watch the film of i capture the castle in class and it be nothing like the book . they take important bit out and add useless bit in in their place and we lose the motherly character for rise and cassandra when mr blossom be just a dummy we saw in the corner of the screen and m marcy be just a school teacher with little say in their life when both character have a great deal of say in the book for a i say they add a kind of motherly atmosphere for the girl for they have no mother and it show just how much they miss their mother but in the film without them they also loose the atmosphere for rise and cassandra and their lose and suffer without their biological mother . it be a good film but have little to nothing to the book and if you haven not read the book and be think of watch the film then i say that you wont get the real story that dodie smith write .
