This is my first time reading this book. The Bambi I grew up with was the Disney version. The book isn't bad at all; it is very well-written and has beautiful illustrations.

And I first came across it referenced in a YA book when I was in middle school, in which the narrator claimed it was much better t...
I am torn. The mystery was meh, but you don't really read Dorothy L. Sayers for the mysteries. You read because Peter and Harriet are the greatest: they are both crazy smart, constantly tossing out obscure literary references like it's NBD, and committed to JUSTICE. They are one of my most favorite ...
Having seen the movie version first, this novel was quite a surprise. It is quite a bit more violent that the film and has a highly introspective, bordering on spiritual (at the end, anyway) feel to it and how it tells Bambi's story. It's certainly an interesting read.
Basing a movie on it did this book no favors. Instead, no one knows it exists -- or if they hear of it, they assume it was written for children. This is a novel. Salten wrote it for a grownup audience, though he probably wouldn't have minded the idea of children reading it.
