it was amazing
bookshelves: children

5 stars for another Roald Dahl masterpiece! He adds a way of life, in the form of magic, to his characters. Many have mentioned to me that they read several of his books when they were children. I guess I am just one of those people that missed out reading him when I was younger however, I am extremely happy to discover him now and know that my grandchildren are reading his books also.
This story was made into a movie also and I can't wait to see it. I highly recommend reading Roald Dahl if you haven't already experienced this author. Enjoy!

Julie G I also discovered Mr. Dahl as an adult, and guess what else I discovered last year? He wrote books for adults, too, and they are excellent!

~☆~Autumn but of course this book was first published in 1988 so no wonder I missed out as my son was 8 when it was published!!!
