I read this book for the first time as a preteen, but I left it unfinished because I didn't find it engaging or entertaining. A few years later, due to my LOVE for Michaels Endes's The Neverending Story, I decided to give it another try, and managed to finish it that time.
In the end, I quite liked the story, I found it very beautiful actually. My problem with it is that it isn't a diverting read, I found it boring in many occasions, which it is a shame because the message that this story sends is very beautiful. I don't think this book has the right pace for a story intended for kids or young people, it is a miss in this area. The essence is definitely there, it is meaningful, but the first time I tried to read it I was too young to have the patience to see it through, and I think many young people must have found themselves in the same situation. Again, it is a pity because it could have been more transcendental with just a little more agility in its rhythm.
