2015 Reading: #10 Roald Dahl’s Matilda
2015 Reading Number 10 – Matilda by Roald Dahl
Synopsis:
Matilda is a sweet, exceptional young girl, but her parents think she’s just a nuisance. She expects school to be different but there she has to face Miss Trunchbull, a kid-hating terror of a headmistress. When Matilda is attacked by the Trunchbull she suddenly discovers she has a remarkable power with which to fight back. It’ll take a superhuman genius to give Miss Trunchbull what she deserves and Matilda may be just the one to do it!
Quick Thoughts
This isn’t the first time I have read Matilda, it was a book I loved as a child, and I am pleased to say I enjoyed it just as much as an adult! The book is fun, a little bit naughty and funny. Roald Dahl sucks you in and you find yourself cheering Matilda on. I remember enjoying the film as a child too, plus a couple of years ago I saw the musical on the West End and loved that too. There is nothing to dislike with this book!
Rating:5 out of 5
I have always loved Roald Dahl. Matilda is especially wonderful. I’m going to have to reread this one sometime soon. It is also part of the 1001 children’s books to read before you grow up challenge.
