A review by complinguophile
The Complete Grimm's Fairy Tales by Jacob Grimm, Wilhelm Grimm

Did not finish book.
After listening to a few stories for the last few days, I couldn’t push myself anymore to go on. I found out that I unfortunately never liked these kind of books, but the delicate sweet taste of little drops of memories of my childhood in them. It’s not these stories that I like; it’s just that I missed those days, now trying to seek and retrieve it through these books... Alas! Not only did I not enjoy the stories as an adult, but I wondered how superficial and sometimes idiotic could they be! If only I could go back in time and meet the child-version of myself, I’d strongly recommend her not to devote her time to it, but to stick more to those anthropology books of hers!



P.S. Apart from the content, I listened to the audiobook narrated by Bob Neufeld on LibriVox app. & he had the most perfect & comforting & suitable grandpa voice for such stories. That was the only reason I could make it through for about half an hour & didn’t give up sooner on the book.
