There is something really magical about Roald Dahl books,
and I’m not sure if it’s because I enjoyed them so much as a child, or whether
I would love them even if I was reading them for the first time as an adult. They’re
funny, ridiculous, a little bit sad in places, have characters to hate and fear
and characters to love.
There’s not much to say about the BFG, as I would be
surprised if anyone didn’t know the story already… a Big Friendly Giant who
takes a little girl from an orphanage because she sees him blowing dreams into
someone’s bedroom window, 9 other 54 foot human bean guzzling giants, the
Queen, the army and a bear pit.
So, who should read this book? Everyone!
Next book: A Suitable Boy, Vikram Seth
