nostalgia_reader 's review for:
Pippi Longstocking
by Astrid Lindgren
2.5 stars.
Although I know I read this in grade school, I have no recollection of the story, so I had no preconceived nostalgia for this. With that in mind, I really was nonplussed by this... Pippi, while at least she has the courtesy to admit that she is sometimes making honest mistakes, is still just an annoying kid. Hopefully the other two in the series are a bit more fun, as they focus more around adventures and plot line rather than these little vignette chapters. I totally understand though, how this would be nostalgic for people who read this as a kid and have fond memories of it-I would probably be in the same boat if I had those sorts of memories!
