I don't particularly feel like the personalities of any of the characters have changed, and the novel seems to have remained pretty much the same. I do not feel like changing the characters sexes, from male to female, actually adds anything to the story. As a male, I have never felt some of the prejudices that women today face, and thus my opinions are open to bias based on sex and privilege. I want to disclaim first and foremost, that my negative opinions can only really be taken with a pinch of salt.
I like the thinking behind the novel, and why an all-female cast has been given, and the influence this could potentially have on younger generations who fail to associate themselves with the characters that they read in stories. The story, just like the classic original is exceptional, and a timeless classic that will live throughout the ages. There are plenty of sound effects and musical numbers to keep the reader/listener entertained throughout the novel. I want to start out by saying the production of this audiobook is by far and away, the best I've heard to date. Children of all ages are enchanted by the thought of talking animals that have very human-like adventures together.I have a lot of conflicting opinions about this book, and wish to preface first and foremost, thatI tried to make my opinions objectively, being careful not to critique the politics, as many reviews before me have done. Toad and his prison time, but mostly it is a timeless story of friends who will do anything for each other. It has serious themes at times, such as Mr. The Wind in the Willows is full of fun and adventures for the best friends.
