 I liked the story however, I did not find this very interesting as it is overly simple. However, I realise the book is intended for children and I'm not the intended audience. The reason I read this was to start with an easy classics book to get into reading classics literature.

The writing is simplistic and the plot easy to follow. Although I personally didn't love the book, I imagine that a child of 8+ would enjoy reading this story.
