Two wrongs don’t make a right

WHAT A BOOK IT WAS! What an ending it was!
I can't control my emotions. I haven't felt anything like this before. I haven't read a children book like this. I am soo happy by reading this. I am soo in love with the characters. Or writing. Or everything which this book offered me. It took me little long to finish this because of my exams. Otherwise this book was soo good that I wanted to finish it in one sitting. Nevertheless, I am finished with this and I am very happy. I think if I will be in the mood of re-reading, I will choose this book.

OVERVIEW
Sophie, an orphan, is taken away by a giant named BFG (Big Friendly Giant) as she sees him in the witching hour (a time when everyone is sleeping and giants show up). He takes her away because he is afraid that she will tell everyone and he will be in danger. BFG is a good giant. But his fellows aren't. They eat humans. But BFG don't. He considers it immoral. When Sophie learns this, she makes a plan with BFG to stop them.


THINGS I LIKED
=> BFG. I loved him. He is uneducated. Can't speak English correctly. No giant can as they have no means of education. But I loved how BFG speaks. That's what makes him soo cute and funny.
=> I liked that giants called human beings: 'Human Beans' hehehe...
=> Giants don't eat Greek people because they taste like grease hehehe...
=> I liked the chapter named 'Dream'. That was pretty hilarious. I was laughing out loud while reading this chapter.
=> BFG called helicopters 'Bellypoppers' hehehe...
=> I liked how they captured the giants. That was pretty interesting.


THINGS I COULDN'T LIKE
=> This point is not much important but I felt little bad about it. I didn't like the history of giants. But I didn't care much about it after that ending. Still it should have been better.
(view spoiler)[ There are no female giants. Just males. How they were born? We don't know exactly. They just appear. What will be their end? We don't know exactly about it either. They will just disappear and nobody will know. (hide spoiler)]
Regardless, I adored this book even with this fact.

I highly recommend this book to everyone. Especially children must read this book.

The matter with human beans,’ the BFG went on, ‘is that they is absolutely refusing to believe in anything unless they is actually seeing it right in front of their own schnozzles
