Interesting writing style. Next up: reading one of the old French translations!

I finished this in a couple of hours. I thought they were interesting colourful tales all nicely linked together.

Quite honestly, if you have little knowledge of Middle Eastern history and culture, this may be difficult to understand. It is a children's reading level though, so if one is willing to look up words or concepts they don't understand, it is quite simple to enjoy.

The original story is really weird and really different from the movie we all know, but it is still good!

I was so disappointed. This book was boring and hard to get through.

I thought this book was good but the other stories apart from aladdin were kind of boring. I liked the aladdin story but I didn’t love it, and these were like old stories so I didn’t enjoy that that much either... it was a very neutral book I wouldn’t recommend it but I don’t have strong opinions on hating it either. 2,5 stars I think
