Review: Goodbye Christopher Robin: A. A. Milne and the Making of Winnie-the-Pooh

Goodbye Christopher Robin: A. A. Milne and the Making of Winnie-the-Pooh by Ann Thwaite
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This book was really disappointing. Based on the description, you might expect to get a look into the relationship between A. A. Milne and Christopher Robin. Unfortunately, only the afterword really addresses this. The rest of the book is about A. A. Milne from birth to death and him getting paid for his work.

Another disappointment with this book is that it is an abridged version of a previous biography. You do not learn this until you have read the Introduction/Before You Begin sections. Had I known, I might have read the other book instead.

This book was painfully slow, so maybe the abridged version was the better option. I had intended to read it on Winnie The Pooh day, but I had to put the book down every so often.

I still hold out hope that the movie will be better.

I read this book as part of the PopSugar Reading Challenge 2018 - A novel based on a real person.

Also, the Goodreads Twitter prompt #4 - Read a book with a name in the title.
