2.0 out of 5 stars
Disappointing,
By Pippi (Hartford, CT) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Hans Brinker: Or, The Silver Skates: A Story of Life in Holland (Illustrated Junior Library Edition, 1945) (Hardcover)
This "novel" is more of a tourist guide (isn't Holland great!) to Holland and its history than a story. I am about half way through (it's been a slog and a struggle). The author introduces Hans Brinker and his sister and their plights at the beginning and I was intrigued. Now I'm slogging away through a bunch of boys running around Holland visiting its museums and talking about its history (like that's what boys generally do). Kind of ridiculous. Hopefully the "real" story about the race and the skates that gets you interested in the book in the first place will pick up before the book ends.
