astakolafs 's review for:
The Brave Little Toaster
by Karen Lee Schmidt, Thomas M. Disch
I've been wanting to read this book for the longest time. Basically ever since I realized that the animated movie musical was based on a book!
I've had it on my Amazon wishlist for many years but never pulled the trigger (do you know how expensive it is to ship ANYTHING from there to Iceland?). However, I've recently really gotten into reading eBooks on my Kindle and realized that I could finally easily access this story. A few minutes later I was reading The Brave Little Toaster and having the best nostalgic time.
Reading the book I was amazed at how close the movie kept to its source. The mood was so wonderfully reminiscent of the feelings I had when watching the movie. I know that I am not alone in absolutely adoring the cartoon as well as being immensely traumatized by it. It had a huge influence on me as a child, as it was my favourite movie and I watched it regularly. I think I was mainly fascinated with it because of the adult themes and complex emotions it made me feel. Which makes sense because I was a dramatic child and if a song made me cry then it instantly became my new favourite song of all time.
All that to say, I love this story and I loved reading this book. I teared up during the final pages and I definitely want a physical copy of this book on my shelf as it will always be special to me.
