Daddy Long-Legs by Jean Webster is #55 and my final book of this year! My sister, Michelle, read it for her book club and suggested it to me because it is a quick and easy read and she thought I would enjoy it. She was right, I did enjoy it.
It is the story about an orphan who is given the opportunity by a rich man to attend college, and he pays for it. The only condition is that she write him letters to keep him up to date on what she is learning and how she is doing in school. After the first chapter, the rest of the book is just her letters to this man.
My description probably isn't the best because it sounds like it will be boring, but the main character in the book is funny and charming and entertaining, so it is better than you would think. The beginning of the book is interesting because she is experiencing so many things for the first time in her life.
Daddy Long-Legs gets 4 out of 5 stars.
I am now done for the year. Sometime after the beginning of the year I am going to post my list of books that I want to read in 2011.
