weema 's review for:

Les Malheurs de Sophie by Comtesse de Ségur

2.0

---

Read this solely for childhood nostalgia as used to love the cartoon adaptation. However, although I’m aware this is a 19’s century children’s book I still couldn’t get over how repetitive the storyline in each chapter was, and the fact that there weren’t any kind of character development whatsoever. Also, sophie’s mistreatment of animals and how emotionally manipulative her parents were by guilt tripping their 4 year old child were horrific. Wouldn’t recommend.
