The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling
3.0
The Jungle Book is fine. It’s a lot different from the movie which focuses the story a lot. Mowgli only appears for a short time before disappearing once his story is over. The rest of it made up of various short stories about the animals in the jungle with a kind of lesson about animal ingenuity or animal morality baked in.
Sometimes there’s an overlap in animals, but the characters are pretty much confined to the grouping chapters delineated for the tale.
I didn’t like or dislike it. My strongest feeling was smug satisfaction at having finished another classic - it satisfies the supercilious, validation desperate 13 year old in me.
