Book Review

I decided to read this one because I knew that the movie with Johnny Depp is coming out very soon and I wanted to re-live the book before I went to see the movie (which you can guarrantee that with Johnny Depp in it, I will be going to see it). I had read it as a child, but it was good to re-read it.

The book really is magical. I forgot how short it is, but also how much fun it is. What I really like about it is that it is exactly like a dream; the way that things just change with no explanation for warning, or the way that unsual things seem to absolutely make sense. I had forgotten all about the Duchess from reading it as a child, but it was good to be reminded of her, she is such an unusual character, with seemingly little purpose. Just like a dream.

This one is definitely worth re-reading as an adult.

Summary

What kind of read is this?
It's a children's book, so its obviously easy and quick, but I would describe this as a magical read.

Do I recommend it?
Yes. I love how it recreates the dream world.

Do I recommend that you buy it?
Yes I do. I think it's a lovely book to have on the bookshelf, especially if you have kids or grandkids.

Star Rating

Brilliant. Couldn't put it down. Recommend that you buy it.
