    Review of Mr. Toppit3

    Lydia Presley Much like Christopher Robert Milne experienced, the fictional Luke Hayward has his life put down on paper by his father, Arthur Hayward. The result? The story told in this book.

    To be honest, I flip-flopped back and forth between liking this book and wanting to just give up on it. It wasn't an easy read and there were some rather crude parts that had me feeling uncomfortable (and the end result will be me not recommending this book lightly). They were completely unnecessary and I am rather sad that I even had to experience them. But then, there's the story of this family, this broken family all revolving around a father that it seemed none of them had paid attention to during his lifetime.

    Every character had his or her flaws, but the most lifelike character was, to me, Lila, the German friend. Charles Elton did such a magnificent job detailing her behavior, her style of dress and her manner of speech so well that I couldn't help but picture her and know exactly what type of person she was. Every time she burst into the scene I couldn't help but laugh and enjoy myself immensely.

    I think this story is fairly realistic, I sympathized with Luke's feelings of resentment toward the book, his motives for feeling that resentment and I sympathized with Laurie's decisions regarding the story, even if I didn't completely agree with them.

    Overall, while not a gripping story, it was an interesting one and I wanted to see it through. by Lydia Presley
