raijoy's review against another edition
4.0
These little stories are gems. So much surprise and grace in this book. My 70-year old Mennonite father loved it as much as I did, read it aloud to my mother after dinner.
wallflower11216's review against another edition
1.0
I often found myself asking why I was continuing to read this. I finally skimmed the last 20 + pages. It had good moments, but was ruined too often by cruelty.
I do not like all of the animal abuse in it. It's not entertaining, which a book should be. The very last chapter is particularly upsetting to me. The cruelty of it like so many other stories in this book is completely unnecessary. It is not the last thing you want to remember when finishing a book.
