My Neighbor Totoro: The Novel

Very good book for imaginative children's and their parents also. When I was reading the book I could fly with totoro and that cat bus...

Loved it! The illustrations are very nice and the novel is beautifully written. Its a delight for readers of all ages.

Review is for this book edition and not for the story (the story is obviously amazing). Pros:- 1. Handmade paper feel of the cover. 2. Nice weight to the book 3. Crisp white pages. 4. Big sized printed text make it easy to read for kids. 5. Has few illustrations 6. Contains a map of the area right at the beginning. Cons:- 1. Since the cover is paper, can get dirty easily and will need to be wrapped in plastic (easy to do) 2. The cover illustration is a bit dull and not very vibrant or bright 3. The illustrations inside are very few and monochrome.

I received book in damaged condition.

This has been one of my most favourite animations The description said that it had good number of illustrations, but it doesn’t have any, thats disappointing

En la novela de mi vecino Totoro las circunstancias y el modo de vida de ese momento se relatan cuidadosamente. Es una novela para niños en prosa simple, que nos puede emocionar también a mayores. Esta novela transporta a tiempos y lugares diferentes, no solo relata la historia de la película sino que la amplia rellenado algunos huecos (como la enfermedad que tuvo la madre) consiguiendo que sea excepcional e interesante. Aunque viene en inglés se necesita poco nivel para leerla. A diferencia de la mayoría de los libros baratos que se encuentran en el mercado, este libro tiene buena calidad. Tanto el dibujo de la tapa dura impresa mate como las ilustraciones del interior son realmente bonitas y nos muestran el arte de la película. Al principio trae un mapa de Masugo, hacia 1955. El tamaño del libro es de 13.3cmX18.5cm y consta de 244 páginas. Con letra grande. Historia original e ilustraciones de Hayao Miyazaki, escrita por Tsugiko Kubo y traducida por Jim Hubbert. Lo que no me ha gustado es la forma de envío como carta urgente para dejarlo en el buzón.

Very nice for the price I payed (even saving a couple of pounds). The canvas cover looks and feels wonderful and the paper is very white and quite thick. The print is large and the font is easily read. The illustrations by Miyazaki himself are soft and more like sketches making them easy on the eyes and suitable for people of every age. The book will be a birthday gift so I can't comment on the story itself but knowing Miyazaki, it will be brilliant. The book is just lovely and will be much appreciated by the birthday boy who is a huge fan of Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli. Couldn't be happier. :)

Minhas filhas adoraram.

Das Buch ist echt toll, wenn man englisch versteht. Es sieht auch hochwertig aus, trotzdem ist es kleiner als ich erwartet habe. Ab und an sind auch gezeichnete Bilder im Stil des Films zu finden, echt schön!

Quality book
