It seems like it's a classic children's book, so could be interesting.

To those of us who haven't read it (due to not being American or for other reasons), as well as to those who have read it but are curious what an adult re-reading it would make of it.
Please do.
That's an interesting review... I like how you write entire paragraphs about various thematic points and blunders, and then in the final paragraph in a single sentence casually mention that everything else was crap, too.
Can't say I'd heard about the book, and sounds like that's a good thing.
It does make me wonder who's going to be the first on this board to review that trilogy that I *have* been hearing ad nauseam about lately, and of which I've seen nauseating numbers of copies in the bookstores both in the US and here. Generally I'm willing enough to read hyped books and write a review, just for the sake of judging for myself, but I'm inclined to give it a pass on this one.
Well, I rarely copy/paste reviews here anymore for a variety of reasons, but I might make an exception.
Please do.
I wonder if I should do the same with that review of Save the Pearls that I wrote earlier today

I read it soon after my first dogs -- rabbit-hunting beagles -- died, when I was ~12.
