The Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Andersen
2.0
So I finally read The Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Andersen. Growing up the Disney movie was my all time favorite, I was obsessed with it. So I've always wanted to read the original story. I knew going into this that it was way different then the Disney version. But oh my goodness! I did not expect this. Honestly if I had read this as a little girl I would have been completely freaked out. Reading this NOW freaked me out. What in the world? I can't believe this is a children's story. I will admit that I loved Hans Christian Andersen's writing style, so I will read some more of his work. I just hope that not all his stories are so creepy! I listened to this on audio and it was completely unabridged. The whole sea witch scene seriously scared me! LOL.
In the end, I think it's worth reading because as weird as it is it's very entertaining. I just didn't care for the story. I would not read this to someone who's very young though. I gave The Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Andersen 2/5 stars.
