I read this book for the Children's Classics Club for the month of March. It was enjoyable, I love Pinocchio since I was a kid thanks to the Disney movie that made me discover this story. A good book to make kids love going to school, not to tell lies, to listen to their parents and some other important lessons for them.

Ho letto questo libro da bambina e mi è rimasto nel cuore. Le avventure di Pinocchio sono un capolavoro della letteratura italiana e Pinocchio è un personaggio indimenticabile, curioso, vivace, disubbidiente, ma anche generoso e coraggioso. Insieme a lui ci sono altri personaggi memorabili, come il suo babbo Geppetto, la Fata dai capelli turchini, il Grillo Parlante, il Gatto e la Volpe, Mangiafuoco, Lucignolo. Il libro è pieno di colpi di scena, di umorismo, di fantasia, ma anche di insegnamenti morali e di valori universali. È una fiaba che parla a tutti i lettori, grandi e piccoli, perché ci fa riflettere sulla condizione umana, sul bene e sul male, sulla libertà e sulla responsabilità. È un libro che fa ridere e commuovere, che fa sognare e pensare. Lo consiglio a tutti quelli che vogliono vivere una grande avventura con il burattino più famoso del mondo.

Pinocchio, the story of a living puppet who wants to be a real boy. A story we all know. Well, a story we think we know. Parts of it anyway. The basic premise, or the gist if you will. Do we know the actual story, the original version? Has Hollywood once again confused us into thinking a film adaptation is the true version if not the only version? Well, perhaps, but that’s another piece for another day. In this piece, the focus is on Carlo Collodi’s 1883 original novel, Pinocchio...

3.5 estrellas
En general me gustó el libro, me pareció muy interesante y original, hubo muchas frases que más bien me parecían como refranes, dichos y/o proverbios que me parecieron maravillosos y muy atinados, ya que el autor los utilizó de forma muy clara y sin rodeos, de acuerdo a la situación que estaba atravesando o que estaba por atravesar Pinocho. Al final no lo califiqué con 4 estrellas ya que al llegar como a 3/4 partes del libro, me empezó a parecer muy repetitivo; y a pesar de que me gustó el final ya que lleva consigo un muy lindo mensaje digno de reflexionarse, lo percibí un poco rápido… me hubiera gustado más que el autor lo desarrollara en más capítulos.
De todas formas creo que es una lectura que todas las personas deberían de leer una vez en su vida.
Por último, te comparto algunas frases que me gustaron:
“Lies, my dear boy, can easily be recognized. There are two kind of them: those with short legs, and those with long noses. Your kind have long noses”.
“Laziness is a serious illness and one must cure it immediately; yes, even from early childhood. If not, it will kill you in the end”.
“I have reached the conclusion that, in order to come by money honestly, one must work and know how to earn it with hand or brain”.
