Heidi by Johanna Spyri
3.0
DNF. It was pleasant enough, but unfortunately it was just a bit too slow for me. It is a sweet story (from what I did read), but it just didn’t interest me enough to continue reading. I also couldn’t help but think of the OG orphan children’s book, Anne of Green Gables, and it just can’t compare.
(Side note: sometimes you can’t expect this to be helped as it’s the background of the author and time period, but the Christianity aspect was a bit grating. I am totally biased in this respect because I really despise pushing religion, but from what I’ve read I’m definitely not alone in this opinion as even in it’s time it was criticized for this.)
