E' un libro per bambini scritto in stile classico, che è di per sè un aggettivo. E' come dire "la moda anni '80" o "la musica leggera italiana": si autodefiniscono e nemmeno in modo lusinghiero.
La vera sorpresa che mi ha portato questo libro è che io abbia deciso di leggerlo.
L'avevo letta da bambina, rimanendo affascinata dall'ambientazione e dalle idee di questi meravigliosi libri, pur riuscendo a coglierle solo superficialmente. Sarebbe bello poterlo rileggere, a distanza di qualche anno, per poterlo capire di più.

What a book! I haven't enjoyed a book so much since I read the last one of the Harry Potter series.
I had seen the film before reading the book and although by then I roughly knew the story, I was amazed by all the details the book contained. It was like reading something completely new, the film was just a shadow of what the book eventually revealed.
I strongly suggest this book for its story, for its unexpected details and subtleties, for the beauty and richness of phrases and paragraphs used to describe surroundings, characters, ideas and emotions.
The first book I read after I moved to London. Brilliant. The movies kind of sucks, so read the book first, or read it even if you didn't like the movie, but read it in english, as this man's a genius in the use of language!
