Pinocchio, in Carlo Collodi's original version, is an adventure-filled, menacing fairy tale with a moral. Made by the woodcarver Geppetto, the puppet Pinocchio dreams of becoming a real child. But his unrestrained curiosity, dishonesty, and selfishness put him in constant peril. As he journeys from the deceptive “Field of Miracles,” where he plants gold coins to make them grow, to the land where lazy boys turn into donkeys, Pinocchio's path is paved with mistakes, willfulness, and danger.And all the while his nose keeps growing bigger and bigger and bigger every time he tells a fib, so all the world can see what a liar he is . . .

Excellent book. It is a book everyone should read, not only watching Disney cartoon. We loved a picture in the corner like moving. You will see if you get one. Nice book. I got a hardcover.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Classic That Every Writer Should Read
Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2015

This is the original classic from which all the later versions were drawn, including Disney's, so my expectations were not high. Still, like Huckleberry Finn, every writer should read this book for the instructional benefit.

The translation seems clumsy, just adequate. The characters are thinly drawn and the plot meanders. It comes across as preachy in several places. Much more could have been done with this theme, and I'm tempted to write my own version, with more character development and setting detail and less plot predictability.

After using this product, I can confidently say it exists. It's like the Switzerland of products—neutral, unassuming, and doesn't take any risks. It didn't blow my socks off, but it also didn't make me question the meaning of life. It's like that friend who always shows up to parties but never really stands out. It's a master of camouflage in the realm of functionality. If you're looking for something to blend seamlessly into the background of your life, congratulations, you've found it. This product won't make you jump for joy or throw a fit of rage. It just... is. And as for how much I enjoy writing reviews for products when forced to by websites... Well, let's just say it's as thrilling as watching paint dry or listening to elevator music on repeat. Ah, the joys of fulfilling arbitrary obligations!
