The Hundred and One Dalmatians / The Starlight Barking
Ratings14
Average rating4.1
One of my favorite comfort reads to go back to over and over - while there are some big differences between this book and the Disney adaptation so many know, it gave me an even richer story to enjoy, with surprises and characters I came to love dearly (no pun intended). An older writing style might take a little getting used to for any not expecting it, but it's well worth it. Beautiful descriptions, wonderful mix of cozy & peaceful vs exciting and tense, this is a brilliant journey to go on, with a layered, satisfying conclusion. I can't say it enough, one of my favorite reads I've ever found, and I'm so glad I did!
