You’d have to pay me to listen to this audiobook again. I couldn’t stand the accents and the pitch the narrator used to voice the children. It made them that much more unlikable. Narration aside, this is not a story I would let any child of mine read. It had racist and negative views throughout. I feel like the author would have to hate children to write them in such a nastily light. In addition to multiple racist instances, it was also ableist. The physically disabled main character felt like a disappointment to his parents solely because he was disabled and only until he overcame his disability would his father approve of him.

Ihana. J luki tämän mulle, aloitettiin lukeminen uudenvuodenviikonloppuna, kun muffa teki kuolemaa. Lohdullinen siirtymä kolerasta kukkivaan kevääseen.  

Tyydyttävä kaari Maryn inhoamisesta siihen, että hänkin oli lopulta symppis. Mäkin olen contrary. Ja tietenkin ihana Dickon. Kirjan lopetus hieman epätasainen, muutamakin asia unohtui. 

Tästä pakollista luettavaa kaikille, jotka yrittävät keksiä itsensä uudelleen.
