This was a childhood favourite of mine and I've read it then in German. I re-read this in English and was just as fun but maybe didn't feel the same anymore as it used to.

But all I can say is that Pippi is a strong and funny female character - and you can always rely on her.

The best part? Everyday is fun with her! It never gets boring.. perhaps she doesn't know that word, hey?

I never liked this book growing up. Pippi was weird and I thought her life was heart-breaking. And as an adult, I am still sad for her :(

SLOVENE REVIEW:
Ocena: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
To knjigo sem prebrala že zelo dolgo nazaj, ko sem bila še mala punčka, vendar se spomnim, da mi je takrat bila ena izmed ljubših knjig. Mogoče pa jo bom v kratkem spet prebrala.

ENGLISH REVIEW:
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I read this book a long time ago, when I was still a little girl, but I remember it being one of my favorite books back then. Maybe I'll re-read it again soon.

Very imaginative. Pippi’s certainly maddening at times. She does have grand adventures and is very happy! The book ends abruptly after her birthday party.

Pippi you are hilarious as always and I love you so much. Can't believe I'd never read this before, considering my childhood obsession with the adaptations.

Picked this up and read it for the first time in almost 20 years. A solid 3.75.
