Kipling's great work revisited and enjoyed immensely
By Cornwallgurl
I cannot remember how old I was when I first read this book. It was my mother's favourite, and she was always urging me to read Kipling, and I hugely enjoyed most of his children's books, but I can remember struggling with Kim quite a bit. My mother, like Kipling, was India born and had that same lifelong yearning for the country that so many old India hands experienced, and in her case she had 3 previous generations of family born there. She was disappointed that I didn't enjoy it that much. Having recently read Charles Allen's excellent biography of Kipling's time in India, Kipling Sahib, which included a detailed section on the writing, illustrating and origins of Kim, the locations and the people, I decided to read it again as a mature adult. I have recently been re-reading quite a few of the children's classics that I read as a child and find in the main that I am enjoying them all the more by bringing maturity and life experience to the party. One or two have disappointed, but largely I am aware of the reasons that these books are classics and have stood the test of time. None more so than Kim - I was just blown away by it - to use a not very articulate critical phrase!I strongly believe that it is Kipling's greatest work; India just leaps off the page - the sights, sounds, smells, colours. I know that Kipling is deeply unfashionable and much reviled these days, but I find it hard to understand how this book could not be enjoyed by many. I was helped of course by my family's background in India, knowledge of where the places are, of many of the Hindi phrases and customs, the school (based I suspect on La Martiniere College in Lucknow) and the machinations of "The Great Game". I have a few family Indian photos left, and the memory of my mother and grandmothers' joint yearning for the India that they both left (like Kipling) and their occasional conversations in Hindi (which is how I picked up some of the words) were very nostalgic and perhaps one of the reasons I enjoyed it so much. Even in the 21st century, playing "Kim's Game" with Cubs is an interesting exercise in concentration and the story of the jewels it was originally played with sparked their interest when some children complained they didn't like games where they had to concentrate and think!This book is by turns a sort of travelogue, a rite of passage, embraces Oriental philosophies, has a cracking good story, pays homage to Kipling's father and even has an interestingly ambiguous ending. I read it in full technicolour with all the people and scenes so clearly in my mind, which surely is the mark of a great novel.

Don't buy. Not a longman cultural edition as described and font too small.
By Amazon Customer
This review is not about the book's contents but about this particular product.This is not Longman Cultural Edition as described. To be fair there are small prints at the end of product description saying "--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.". However, I think this is very dishonest as the seller put product descriptions of Longman Cultural Edition of Kim then add this one line at the end as an excuse to send something completely different. I ordered it from my iPhone app so I didn't notice the last sentence the seller added. On top of that the font is too small - I'm 33 years old with good pair of eyes but even for me it's too small to enjoy the book. I would say font size is about 8-9. Dishonest, disgraceful and disgusting sales conduct. Returning this and ordering another version.

DO NOT BUY
By Amazon Customer
THIS IS A REVIEW OF THIS EDITION ONLY.Kim is one of my favourite novels of all time so how delighted I was to come across an illustrated issue.IT AS APPALLING!!!The formatting is an absolute disgrace with text squashed up against the illustrations and illustrations are a pixelated blurry disaster. It looks as though it was put together for GCSE coursework.Shameful and appalling.DO NOT BUY THIS VERSION!!!!!!!!!
