mrchance 's review for:

The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling
2.0

Rikki-tikki-tavi is the only story in the Jungle Book really worth reading. But I somehow lived life for the last twenty years thinking Rikki-tikki-tavi died at the end. Why did I think that? Did I not read the last page in middle school? Spoiler alert for all the seventh graders: he lives.

The rest of the stories are overlong, but nice in summary. Mongoose fights some snakes. Seals are clubbed. Elephants dance. Mowgli is boring.

It's like I got high and wrote a haiku.
