The art and writing is so nostalgic, but I cannot help but feel the whimsy has dissipated slightly as I got older. The deception! But the drawings are so cute and its intent was a wholesome story…. at the end of it all… thankful that Alfie went to a good home.

Un Dahl davvero per piccoli, ma la storia del signor Hoppy non può non strappare un sorriso anche ai più grandi.

What a quirky little story.

Wow, this book is toxic.

Oh noooooo.

I thought the book was great a definite a worth a read if you are into books about Tortoises. I thought it was okay even though it was written by an amazing author because there is a man who is retired but still loves his neighbour who also seems to also be retired.

HOWEVER, with that being said, the book was more romantic in a way than the man having a love for tortoises. I think that the excursion of all this, the book is about a man who is attracted to a lady he has a crush on from the flat below and not all about tortoises but buying them for his love interest.
