Pippi Longstocking by Astrid Lindgren

3.0

---

This was a nice read that I can see why so many people say this is one of their favorite children's books from childhood. Maybe it's because I'm older when I first read this book but I thought it was average. I was kind of bothered whenever Pippi makes people upset or angry that she would always blame her mom's death, her father being gone, and her upbringing for not acting in a way that the person she's talking to would accept her lackings. I understand that what she says is true but it sounds like a crutch to me. I'll probably read the rest of the books in the series since this series is on my bucket list of "to-read series."
