Beautiful book!
I'm not sure if it's the most page turning type of book, but it feels extremely artful.
The only book I've read that makes me think, "I really like this author!"
If you know of any similar books please let me know.
I've read "Tarzan" and "Kim," those were good, but nothing like this book.

Classic - colonial - some great stories - some didn't interest me at all.

A dzsungel első könyve nagy meglepetés volt számomra, pusztán amiatt, mert valami másra számítottam látatlanban. Mégis nagyon örülök, hogy a kezembe került, mert a gyermeki énem, aki imádja a meséket, és a felnőtt énem, aki szeret komolyabb történeteket olvasni is olyasmit kapott, amire azt tudom mondani, hogy kár lett volna kihagyni.

Azon gondolkodtam olvasás közben, hogy olyan érzés volt ezt a zsebkönyvet olvasni, mint amikor gyerekkoromban nagymamám a Megható állattörténetekből mesélt nekem esténként. Nem törte össze a szívem, azonban mégis izgultam az állatokért, majd pedig olvasás után gondolkodtatott el, hogy a szeretet, a ragaszkodás, és a hűség mekkora erények. És hogy sokan mennyire nem becsülik ezeket.

They speak in ye Olde English and it makes things difficult to understand.

I enjoyed my time with this book. Kipling is a great storyteller regardless of the story themselves. There was only one story I didn’t enjoy but that could be considered as a nitpick. Recommended.
