trs24 's review for:

Mary Poppins by P.L. Travers
2.0

1.5 Stars

(D: Dreadful)

I loved the original movie (1964), I adored it.
so I thought I would love the book too, if it was as great as the movie. (which presumably I thought it really was)
what a shame, I was wrong.
beautiful, friendly, good-tempered & always-smiling movie Mary Poppins turned to a petulant, rude, sour person.
only the first 2 pages & a few pages in between about stars were interesting.
children in elementary school or younger might like it. (but I don't recommend it to parents) maybe if I was 20 years younger I would like it, but It surly wasn't for present me.
