Ich habe mich von den ersten zwei Zeilen an in diese Geschichte verliebt! Ich habe den Film als Kind sehr gerne gesehen und habe mich sehr auf dieses Hörbuch gefreut, und ich denke, das Buch ist sogar noch besser. Hoffmanns Schreibstil ist wirklich wunderschön und er hat mich sofort in seiner Welt gefangen genommen, die ich gar nicht mehr verlassen wollte. Es war einfach alles so süß und magisch.
Der Sprecher des Audible-Hörbuchs war auch wirklich toll und seine ruhige Stimme passte perfekt zu der Geschichte!

I really liked the beginning, but it quickly became very disturbing. People died, were brutally murdered and rasped out their last words while lying in a puddle of their own blood. It's not something I expected in a children's book! And the end was just confusing. Not sure I understood what was going on there.

Possibly one of the more insane children's stories I have ever read. A very enjoyable, sweet tale of a little girl and a nutcracker and how she helped him to defeat a 7-headed mouse king tyrant.
In parts the translation was confusing - the author kept altering who he was speaking to, wavering from "my dear audience" to "attentive Fritz" and "young dear Marie" etc and often the exchanges between characters would be illogical i.e. Marie watches princesses make sweets and wants to join in. But the next sentence says "as if they read the nutcracker's mind, one of the Princesses offers Marie a bowl to pound up rock candy". Not sure if its a mistranslation or the author was deliberately muddling things up.
Overall, a magical little tale. Inspired to see the infamous ballet it informed.

Cute and enjoyable, one of those things you're aware of but likely never read. Very familiar with the music from the ballet. Have never seen it but maybe a treat for next Christmas.
