Heidi Review
Basic Info:
Orphaned Heidi lives with her gruff but caring grandfather on the side of Swiss mountain, where she befriends young Peter the goat-herd. She leads an idyllic life, until she is forced to leave the mountain she has always known to go and live with a sickly girl in the city. Will Heidi ever see her grandfather again? A classic tale of a young girl's coming-of-age, of friendship, and familial love.
Review: Sweet, innocent tale of a girl in the Mountains.
I've read this book several times now, one or two times in English, and the rest in German, and I have to say, I actually quite like this sweet book. It's a change from all the dark crime, non-fiction, thrillers, and autobiographies, and it proves that an innocent child pretty much alone in the mountains can still be enjoyed, no matter how old you are. The story is simple, but it works, and the feelings are true, feelings that everyone knows. To be honest, I can't really find anything wrong about this book, except maybe the odd plot point here and there, but otherwise, I give it 7/10, or in the case of Goodreads, 3/5.
