_dustypage_ 's review for:
The Wind in the Willows
by Kenneth Grahame
This is probably my first ever book to be completed as an audio.
Somewhere in the middle of the chapter where Mole and Water Rat meets Pan the God, I think I kinda lost focus and zoned out for the most part. Then as I came to, I really had no desire at all to return and listen to what just happened. I believe that was my mind telling me I was not enjoying this book.
Some characters are likeable, like Mole and Water Rat. The others, Toad in particular, I have no interest in at all.
I know this is supposed to be a silly and whimsical and fun children’s book, but I don’t think I would have loved this as a kid as well. There is actually no plot, just vibes. And the vibes are pretty bizarre to be honest, with these animals eating chicken and having the same size and all that.
Maybe it’s the audio version, maybe I’m not cut for listening, maybe the story itself is far from being compelling. I dont know. All I conclude is that The Wind in the Willows is not for me.
