Heidi by Johanna Spyri
4.0

Just a delightful book. Even as a jaded, cynical adult, I teared up a couple of times. I do wish I had read it as a kid, only because I think I would have enjoyed it even more.

I do have to admit, the "GOD LOVES YOU!" message is beat into you over and over, but somehow, it didn't annoy me in this book.

EDITED: Unfortunately, I have just learned that this is a vastly inferior translation of the book, not only dumbed down, but also abridged. This is most distressing to me. I look forward to reading an old, 1920s translation to compare them.
