Good little read for one night I awoke and couldn't get back to sleep.
I can't decide how to rate it, though.

Ehm... Wat is de moraal van dit verhaal? Bedrieg uw crush met 100en schildpadden, zodat ze uiteindelijk voor u valt en met u wilt trouwen? Dat is een goede basis voor een relatie zeg!
Eerste keer gelezen, maar ik denk niet dat ik het ooit nog eens opnieuw ga lezen..

At first I was all "eeeeeeeh" about the deal Mr. Hoppy makes with Ms. Silver (she'll do whatever he wants if he makes her tortise grow bigger), but, by the end, it's apparent that his intentions of marrying her are her own desires, as well, so it wasn't so bad. Still a tiny bit creepy.
Pretty funny when read aloud, since it's fairly difficult to pronounce all those words backwards. New readers will have a good time trying to work out the actual words, challenging their reading capabilities.

It's a very original story and I love the concept so much, but I do feel for Mrs Hoppy not knowing the truth and not having her real Alfie!

I don't know how to rate this. On the one hand I immensely enjoyed the tortoise content and the quirky storyline, on the other hand the book teaches a very questionable message (it's ok to lie and cheat, you'll not only get away with it, you'll also be rewarded for it) and I'm heart-broken about the non-existent bond between Alfie and Mrs Silver. To sum up: high enjoyment factor, doubtful morals.
