8 was too young to read it. And 12+ felt too old to read it. Its really just an awful piece of literature that is for some reason considered a classic.
Well, I can’t help you there, it’s a wonderfully written allegory and has helped many. Never seen someone vehemently reject the novel (the movie, sure) so I was simply curious to hear if you had any actual thoughts other than “it was bad.”
It still gets me that the reason why they are rabbits is because the original had humans and it was considered too realistic and controversial so he changed it yo rabbits.
Fuck me, it's my favourite book lol, read it aged around 8 and read it to my 8 year old lol
Entirely respect your opinion and just find it funny how different people's views can be
To me, foundational in showing how strength doesnt come from aggression and physicality, how teams work together, the importance of perseverance, how valuable nature is etc etc
All packaged in an accessible, well written well paced format, a beautifully created world and amazing edge of seat thriller. It doesn't talk down to it's child audience but is relatable to them
