![]() But the quote in Astrid Lindgren’s site which state that “there were two books which could be found in most Russian homes, namely the Bible and Karlsson on the Roof” can’t be true. It is true that books about Karlsson was very popular in Soviet Union and is popular now in Russia. Karlsson-on-the-Roof by Astrid Lindgren (Karlsson på taket) (1955 - 1968) I don’t know will I going to read it further. I even started to read the second book, but the main heroines were back to square one - in emotional and physical kind of way, no character development whatsoever. I understand that the author planned a whole book series, but every book should contain a decent plot and not only teenage girls’ emotions. Also there’s not much going on, plot-wise (although the book was pretty thick). ![]() It was a little bit gross, at least, for my taste. For example, there were too much attention to the boys, their tan, muscles, skin and sweat. There was even a kiss! I got all excited about this queer romance, but I’ve google some spoilers and found out that in the end all this was just a queerbaiting. It got even more curious when “the witch” Agatha become more and more like a prince for her childhood “princess” friend Sophie. It was an interesting idea at first: a two girls - the princess and the witch - was forcefully taken to fairytale School for Good and Evil, but there’s a catch - “the princess” was sent in school for villains and “the witch” was sent in school for heroes and princesses. Spoiler - I didn’t like this book very much. But I guess it wouldn’t happen anytime soon, so I’ll make a post now before I forgot everything I’ve read. I’ve read first book of School of Good and Evil series back in may or june, but I didn’t write a post about it, because I’ve planned to read all books first.
