I guess this book is considered a classic in the Czech Republic and it is being tought about in schools. Even though I usually try to avoid such books (they bore me to death in most cases) this one somehow found its way in my bookcase. I've read it at least once before but didn't remember anything about it. That's why I decided to pick it up again and reread it...
...and I am pleasantly surprised. It reads fast, it is kind of sweet and silly at times. Even though I found some irritating opinions (not sure if those were author's or a character's) I like it. Solid three-star rating. Before I started reading, I was sure I will get rid of this book. But you know what? I will keep it for a while longer.
