I am not sure if that's the perfect Goodreads Book for Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp. I finished reading the translation of Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp from the Complete Tales of 1001 Arabian Nights (translated by Jonathan Scott).

I wish I had never read it. I love the Disney version of Aladdin. The version I recently completed was not good. I don't know if that was also the translator's fault, but the writing style didn't sound good. The communication between characters was too formal, using phrases that you can encounter between two lawyers. The conversational style reminded me of the way Mr. Collins talks in Pride and Prejudice. I guess the reason is that the folktale was translated in 1811, and maybe this style of translation was common.

Besides that, there is a lot of repetition of past events. Let's say something happened to Aladdin; we got the description of it. Then he comes home, repeats in detail what happened to him to his mom, and his mom repeats the same thing to the sultan. Why do I need to read the same thing multiple times?

I did not like that most of the schemes were carried out by women: either by his mom or Princess. To be honest, the way Alladin has been described in the beginning did not make him a lovable protagonist, but more like a disrespectful, lazy, careless brat.

I think the last straw for me was the way he addressed the Princess: "my possession", "object of passion". He did not even talk to her; he just saw her face and found her beautiful, that's it. He has kidnapped her, destroyed her marriage, and lied about his identity.

Also, why does Genie have an unlimited number of wishes? I feel like Geenie was just exploited by Aladdin, whereas in the Disney movie, they became friends, and there were only three wishes.

I think I will stick to the Disney version; the original one made me so angry with Aladdin

delightful read

Ugh an absolute classic

[Nick Katenkamp · Rating 3 out of 5]

I was a little underwhelmed by the original tale of Alladin. It's not underwhelming because it's different from the famous Disney movie (which it vastly is) but just because it's really not all that interesting. The Disney telling really jazzes this story up. As it is, it's just a fine but forgettable fairytale.
