Heidi is so boring because she only cares about, like, mountain air and goats and someone else's grandmother. She's always jumping for joy, literally. I can't believe she never fell down the mountain. I'm always in a foul mood about public transit or the fact that they charged me extra for syrup at Starbucks, and I found Heidi's innocence and virtue ultimately just infuriating. Like, come on, you are five years old! Throw a tantrum!

I'm honestly wondering if I read a bad translation, because I read up on Heidi a little this morning and a lot of the names in my version were skewed. I didn't hate Heidi but it honestly didn't do much for me.

The moral of this book is that you should be good and happy and always trust god. Also living in the mountains is invigorating, and cities are bad. At the end, SPOILERS, Heidi lives with Alm Uncle and the Doctor in a house, so basically she's got two dads? This was the coolest part of the book, minus the fact that it is maybe just a ploy to avoid all mother figures.
