This was like a cheap, lazy version of Aladdin. He was so lazy and over dramatic and unlikeable. I did not like this version of Aladdin. (But who can beat Disney's version...) I kept reading since it was only 130 pages long, otherwise I would have DNFed it. NOT. GOOD.

*3.5

Foi uma experiência interessante. Essa é a versão que mais se aproxima da original e difere em várias coisas do que conhecemos da história de Aladim, principalmente a que a Disney produziu há anos. Gostei bastante, umas coisas parecem surreais demais (além da lâmpada e o gênio) mas é uma história fantasiosa, além de ser um conto dentro de outra história.

Só achei os textos introdutórios monótonos e cheios de informações que não me agregaram muito ao longo da história, sem contar que é um resumo de Aladim, caso alguém ainda não conheça, precisa pular os dois capítulos de apresentação e ir direto para a história.

So I was in a reading slump, for a day or 3. Did not what to start, and started some books, and found I could not finish them. This short, new translation of the Aladdin story was just what I needed to get back in the game. It was fresh, and felt very new to me. I really enjoyed the introduction, because I do not know much about how the Aladdin story came into existence. And now, perhaps, I know even less, because it is still quite a mystery. But it is a great story, a story about a guy, who perhaps was not up to much good, but life had so much more in store for him!

Recommended!
