As an adult I have reread most of them (The BFG, The Witches, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and James and Giant Peach). I haven't reread Matilda, but now I will have to do so! Loved your review. :) I have to watch the movie, too! <br /><br />A lot of my students enjoy the books that he wrote about his own life, but I haven't read them yet.

I want to read more of the famous ones which happen to have movies to themselves too (:Adriana @ BooksOnHerMindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564998651703349031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8432006617270233265.post-44144866159443790082014-01-14T22:24:15.372-05:002014-01-14T22:24:15.372-05:00Now that I think about it I loved The Series of Un...Now that I think about it I loved The Series of Unfortunate Events which could be really dark in its own way so I guess you are right (:Adriana @ BooksOnHerMindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564998651703349031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8432006617270233265.post-18518321541005320442014-01-13T23:19:59.519-05:002014-01-13T23:19:59.519-05:00You know...

I guess even kids like a little of the dark sometimes!

My daughter got this for Christmas so we are planning on reading it right after we finish Fortunately, the Milk (for the fourth time), Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and The One and Only Ivan (for the second time). I love Roald Dahl. He is one of the most imaginative writers! I haven't read Matilda before, so it will be a new adventure for both my kids and me. Glad you enjoyed it!Batch of Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08011267256741853797noreply@blogger.com
