Wat is dit heerlijk gedaan! Natuurlijk veel gecondeseerd want het gewone boek is veel langer, maar echt goed gedaan. De belangrijkste dingen zijn er, het eiland, Tim, de familie, George die niet Georgina wil worden genoemd, de eigenschappen van de kinderen zijn perfect opgepakt, en er is meer. Ik vond het heerlijk om te lezen, ik was als kind groot fan van de serie en ook andere Enid Blyton boeken, ik verslond ze! Dus ik was even bezorgd of dit zou werken, maar dat deed het dus. Ook de illustratiestijl is perfect. Ik moet maar eens de rest van de serie gaan kopen en daarna in de gaten houden wanneer de rest uitkomt.

Dulu baca ini rasanya biasa, seru memang, tapi biasa aja. Tapi membaca lagi buku ini di usia yang lebih dewasa membuat aku sadar bahwa novel ini sebagus itu. Bagaimana buku ini menceritakan persahabatan kental antara empat anak plus satu anjing, bagaimana mereka mengatasi perselisihan, dan unjuk kelebihan serta melengkapi kekurangan satu sama lain untuk memecahkan masalah.
Dialog-dialognya juga ringan, lantip, tapi ngena! Apalagi George, lucu banget. Ada bagian di mana George dan Anne berantem, terus George bilang, “If you start telling me what is good for me, I shall hate you. Mother and father are always saying that things are good for me— and they are always the things I don’t like.”
Ahahaha!
Semakin dibaca halaman demi halamannya, buku ini membuatku teringat dengan kebahagiaan masa kanak-kanak yang serba polos dan sederhana. Membuat hati terasa hangat dan penuh.

i know it was written in 1942, and i know it’s for kids, but i despise that the over arching theme of this book is teaching kids to be neither seen or heard, and always be little angels, and that money fixes everything. wanted to read abt gold ingots and adventure and instead feel like im going to be saying “oh mother you are a brick!” when she says that i don’t have to be quiet because my father isn’t working

I have to say, I fell in love with George immediately. I think she is the only character who actually grows during this book. The side characters, especially uncle Quentin brought on a unique layer to the plot. I must mention that ...more
