The Count is a human version of Paddington. Not for clumsiness but for earnestness and child-like charm.

I have made it to the end of the first part. This book has not hooked me.
Some thoughts:
- The one-eyed cat being called Drosselmeyer is so cute.
- This is so not a Russian book. I often forget he is actually in Russia; speaking French, not religious, etc.
- He has NOT suffered for his station. I don’t really feel badly for him. I do like him, but I also don’t really care about him.
Finally some depth…

Enjoying the book but I’m not sure it’s the right book for me right now. Tempted to set it aside. Very into seasonal reads at this time.
