Summary: Why do heroines have to be so fantastic!
Review: After reading this book, the only thought that came to my mind was that the heroine was just lucky to get through all the hurdles without even a scratch.

Too fantastic to digest. But then aren't all such books are.

I just couldn't understand few things, how Capitola managed to get out of every difficulty without problem, and how, all the smart villians, become dumb and do the stupidest act while she is there (whether they know it or not) and things are always in favour of our great heroine?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great!!
Review: Capitola is a true heroin! Once you buy this book you'll never be able to put it down. Capitola is a lovable character and Ms. E.D.E.N Southworth, did a marvelous job at selecting each of her characters including Captain Hurricane, Black Donald (the criminal) Capitola is a remarkabl eyoung girl and you'll definately laugh and cry with her through out the book! I recommend this book to all who have read such novels as Pride and Prejudice and Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen! You'll LOVE this book!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent!
Review: I first read this book in an American Women Writer's class in graduate school. E.D.E.N. Southworth was creating fearless, independent, intelligent heroines at a time when her contemporary best selling novelists were portraying silent and submissive heroines. Capitola and the other colorful characters in the story are unique and endearing, in spite of their melodramatic qualities. Because this was first a serial publication, every chapter is full of action and fun. I will always recommend this book to friends, and in fact, I am ready to name my first daughter Capitola! Read this book!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent!
Review: I just loved this book. I started out reading it for a class, but the class was cancelled. I finished it anyway, and I think everyone should read this book. Capitola is sassy and brave and daring and smart.Everything a heroine should be!!
