Yes, the character is high-spirited, outgoing and over-dramatic. Of course she talks a lot. But they're not exactly terrifying walls of text. They're just paragraphs.

This one is funny because the book in question is about as unlike Rabbit, Run as you can imagine. I had to assume the teacher had no idea who this girl was and just picked two completely random books.

It's the second sentence that makes this. I simply can't detect any sarcasm in there. Reminds me of the /lit/ anon who genuinely seemed to think Jason Compson was the most admirable character in The Sound And The Fury.

Does Mika think that contemporary readers believed this story literally?

Hint: It's a classic Victorian adventure novel, but with clearly supernatural / fantastical elements.
