Nostalgic re-reading it with my child, having read it with a parent when I was a child. It was dated but we still both really enjoyed it and my daughter was eager to find out how the adventure ended. Loveable characters and you just want to be one of then too.

Wonderful as always! It's always a treat to read an Enid Blyton.
Enid Blyton is the reason I fell in love with reading. With winter just around the corner, I decided to dive into a pool of nostalgia by picking up the first book in the Famous Five series. I’ve missed Julian, Dick, Anne, George, and Tim so much! Reading Blyton’s stories is always such a joy. I don’t even have to fight the urge to scroll through my phone because these books are so addictive. My plan is to revisit and read through the entire series again!
One down 20 more to go!

Enjoyed the beginning and the trans king George!
However, when the real action began, the events unfolded a tad too annoyingly. The evil grown ups just had to be there at the right place at the right time, and then the kids outsmarted them, and it was just an eyeroll after an eyeroll. Also, Anne is so goddamn annoying, I might have ended up drowning her if I was forced to be friends with her. x.x

Mal wieder ein nostalgisches Hörbuch. War damals meine 1. Kassette.
Geschichte nach wie vor 'spannend'.

Another read from back in 2019- thank you mum for showing me this series!
Five on a Treasure Island—the book that made every kid want to find a hidden cave, befriend a dog, and solve mysteries with their cousins instead of dealing with school. Seriously, why did Enid Blyton make childhood adventures seem so much cooler than real life?
So, we’ve got Julian, Dick, and Anne visiting their cousin George (don’t call her Georgina unless you want to get wrecked), plus Timmy the dog, who is obviously the real MVP. They stumble upon a shipwreck, a hidden treasure, and some highly suspicious adults who are way too invested in an old island. Naturally, the kids outsmart everyone, because grown-ups in these books have the IQ of a soggy biscuit.
The story is fast-paced, full of excitement, and gives off major every-summer-should-be-like-this vibes. Sure, the dialogue is a bit old-fashioned, and Julian acts like he’s applying for the role of "bossy older brother of the century," but it’s still a fun ride.
When mum said we had Scooby Doo at home, I'm glad it was this series.
