One of the most emotionally difficult and heartbreaking books I have ever read.

A childhood favourite of mine that I still fondly remember reading. I still have my copy and sometimes think I should re-read it but I don't want to take away from the lovely memories of reading it many years ago.

Skipped to end as was finding the book hard to read and very repetitive. Ending was disappointing

I really wanted to like this book more since I adore otters, however it quickly became a repetitive story of otters eating, fighting, playing, fending off predators. This repeated over and over again. I finally skimmed the last third of the book.

If I ever pick this book up again, I'm asking my friends to either smack me a couple times and remind me how much I hated it the first time around, or snatch it from my hands and throwing it into a pit of fire.

Yeah....I didn't like it.
