Reading this for the first time as an adult was probably a bad idea, as was listening to an audiobook of it instead of reading a physical copy. It fell short for me. I don’t understand why it’s a classic. I was incredibly bored for the last 30-40% of it.

This is genuinely one of my favorite books and I'm happy I got to read for the first time ever in Spanish.

"Mas ninguém acreditou nele, por causa das roupas que usava. As pessoas crescidas são assim. (...) O astrónomo tornou a fazer a sua demonstração em 1920, vestindo uma casaca muito elegante. É desta vez toda a gente concordou com ele"

Apenas um dos mais diversos excertos desta obra fantástica que levam qualquer pessoa a refletir e a concordar que, de facto, "As pessoas crescidas são decididamente muito muito estranhas"
