I'm gonna pin this on me not being British. All the blurbs said this was a funny book and I just didn't see it. However, I love how imaginative each story was.

Honestly, I only picked this up because it was short and I'm behind on my 'read 50 books this year' goal. I did enjoy it, Morrie is a wonderful guy and his lessons are poignant. I do however feel like they aren't anything entirely new. The themes of the lessons he relates to Album can be found in multiple other places. In fact, what I really was interested in was not them but rather Album's reactions to the condition of his dying teacher. Worth a read, but I wouldn't say worth rereading or maybe even buying. A library copy will do.

I was surprised by how engaging this book was, especially since it was written early on in the 20th century. But it is still very applicable to today and I found myself learning so much from it. Well, rather I felt it was a pretty deep book that I'll have to reread to fully get all the knowledge from it but I don't mind it because the subject is fascinating and Hazlitt's prose is so accessible.

I love the logic Barrie follows, it's not true in the actual world, but is a perfect way of letting us get inside Wendy's and Peter's heads. Barrie's got a wonderful understanding of children. The adventures they have are a great read. Prose wise there were times I wasn't entirely sure what just happened, and only understood an event because I could line it up with the taped version of the play I watched a lot as a child. If I wasn't familiar with the story, I would have enjoyed the book less simply for confusion. But as it was, I enjoyed reading it.

Really, I just enjoyed this book as a learning tool. Paying attention to how the plot and pacing developed and so on. But it was also an enjoyable read. Despite this not being any of my Doctors.
