Just read the BFG after seeing the film. Good story, well-written but clearly not aimed at my age group! It contains several quite deep themes which hold an adult's interest.

Great books!

My absolute favorite childhood author! :-)

I really love the way of writing of Roald Dahl he is very funny and he knows how to catch you.

IT ROCKS

I found BFG more funny as an adult and George's Marvellous Medicine was quite short and simple but very relaxing to read on a sunny day. Matilda however disappointed me because all the adults wasn't enjoyable to read about even Miss Honey.

A brilliant and exciting exploration of childhood, that perfectly captures the imagination, logic and values of small children. There are a few instances of coded sexism and racism throughout the books, but this is a product of the author's time.

“Somewhere inside all of us is the power to change the world."

all these books are amazing! I luv Matilda and the BFG the best !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Kids love all his books

Another classic Roald Dahl tale, this book is about an eight year old boy called George, who lives on a farm with his mother, father and grandmother. One day, his mother and father go out, leaving George and his grandmother at home together. George's mother reminds George to give his grandmother her medicine each day. George finds his grandmother grumpy and mean, and finds that she has a negative attitude towards him. After finding out a few dark secrets, George decides to give Grandma a taste of his own homemade medicine!He makes this by gathering different products from around the house, such as shampoo, animal pills and many more gruesome items. When it is time for her medicine, George gives her a spoonful of the medicine which he made. After giving her this, his grandmother ends up taller than the house.
The children in my Year Two class on SBT2 loved this book, and they came up with their own marvellous potions as a literacy task.

So there is a girl named Sophie and her parents died before she was born. She is not sad about her parents dead because she never met them. But she does have to go to a orphanage which is like a foster home. While she was there in the middle of the night other Giants besides the BFG would soon be having breakfast what they eat for breakfast is nice little chiddlers. So her and the BFG are trying to help stop them!

I borrowed this book from a friend because The BFG and George's Marvellous Medicine were those two Roald Dahl books that I didn't get a chance to read as a kid, so I wanted to catch up on that. I never realised until now, now that I am reading it as an adult, the dark undertones of Roald Dahl's stories. The BFG and George's Marvellous Medicine, especially the latter, had plenty of those. This collection also included Matilda which I enjoyed a whole lot as a kid, but now that I am forced to look back on the stories I enjoyed as a kid with an adult's perspective, I discovered that Matilda wasn't all that happy fantasy that I used to think it was either.
