I loved this book and Mio's fantastic adventures as a child and I still love re-reading it as an adult.
As a child I was enchanted by the beautiful Farawayland and the heartwarming "Happy Ending" for Mio and his father, the King, who loves him so very much.
As an adult, I realised that there is a powerful hidden message and no Happy Ending at all. That this is actually a heartbreaking story about a neglected and lonely little boy, sitting on a cold, dark parkbench, who dreams himself into a better world, where his father loves him and everyone is caring and friendly.
This book should remind us, that there are too many children out there, who are neglected and lonely and it is our duty to look out for them.

Manchmal tut es einem einfach nur in der Seele gut, die alten Kinderklassiker erneut zu lesen. Zwar kann ich mich nicht daran erinnern, ob meine Mutter mir den Mio auch vorgelesen hat, aber ich gehe stark davon aus.
"Mio, mein Mio" ist Lindgren pur. Sie kann sich so gut in die Herzen und Gedanken von Kindern versetzen, da erstaunt es nicht, dass ihre Bücher noch immer geliebt werden. Früher, als Kind, habe ich mir nämlich ganz ähnliche Geschichten erzählt. Das hat mich somit nur umso mehr in die Kindheit zurückversetzt.
Mio geht ans Herz, auch (oder vor allem) wenn man es als Erwachsener liest. Erwachsener sollten meiner Meinung nach sowieso öfter Kinderbücher lesen. Vor allem jene, die (noch) keine Kinder haben. Der Verbindung zum Inneren Kind tut Astrid Lindgren auf jeden Fall sehr gut.

My mom read it several times to me when I was a kid, but I didn't remember much of it, even though I called it my favorite book at that time.
I have to admit that even today I really enjoyed reading this novel, Lindgren has created an interesting and magical new land (Farawayland), which kinda dragged me in.
Quick read, but many things happen.
