My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1403143371">4 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
Violet Says: 5 Stars.<br>I love this book and ask for it a lot. I love it so much that we've checked it out of the library probably 4 or 5 times by now. I always want my mom and dad to read it to me.<br><br>Dad says: 3 Stars<br>Usually Violet and I are fairly close in our assessments of the books we read. Sometimes she'll like something I find somewhat annoying, or I'll want to read a beautiful book she doesn't care so much about, but for the most part our tastes align nicely (knock on wood). "Harriet's Had Enough" is perhaps our biggest point of disagreements. Violet loves it, while Dad has only come to loosely appreciate it after much deliberation. If I had to guess, maybe Violet's fandom has to do with an appreciation of the depiction of the volatile emotions that trigger Harriet's decision to run away from home? Really who knows why any of us like anything. Part of my issue may be that I work hard to find good books and this was just a random find off a shelf during some library visit long ago. Could I be just as successful picking books at random? Existential crisis time.<br><br>Final Tally: 4 Stars
