Fun, creative little story. Pinocchio himself is a bit annoying and characters come and go on a whim. Still, enjoyable.
Forget everything you learned about Pinocchio from the Disney movie. Pinocchio is bad. He lies. He cheats. He steals. And he enjoys doing bad things. He is repentant only when he is about to be severely punished and as soon as the punishment is removed, he goes right back to being bad.
He cares about his father. He cares about the blue fairy. These are his only redeeming qualities. But they are enough.
A book that is full of action and adventures. And it is also so fun to read.
Pretty good, full of imagination and weirdness. Pinocchio was far more naughty in the book than in the Disney version which kinda made the moral work better. In the movie he was kinda just cute and dumb so you forgave him. Here, you wanna smack him. As usual, Blue Fairy or “The Child with the blue hair” is the best character. Unexpected gore including a donkey getting its ears bitten off and a cat ripping of its own paw was unexpected...
