HEY GUYS!! =)
So, previously on my post I had quoted a saying from a famous and loved book and I thought that should be our first novel for me to review. So INTRODUCING.......... Matilda by Roald Dahl!!
Matilda Wormwood's father is a mean crook.
And her mother's just plain stupid.
They think Matilda is a nuisance who should
watch more TV and read fewer books!
But her lovely teacher Miss Honey thinks Matilda is a genius.
Matilda has a few extraordinary tricks up her sleeve,
so her horrible parents and even more horrible
headmistress had better watch out.
(Blurb from the back of Matilda)
Matilda is a book mainly for children aged 8 and up. It is told by the perspective of 5 year old Matilda Wormwood. Matilda lives with her parents and her older brother, Michael. Life is hard for Matilda as she finds that all the adults she knows are dumb and mean, all except Miss Honey Matilda's school teacher. She has an extraordinary talent that no other 'normal' kids have, she is a genius! Matilda has some plans for these adults, with the help of her talent can she pull it off?? One little girl against a group of nasty and mean adults, will she win??
I really enjoyed Matilda. It was a funny novel and definitely a good read! Roald Dahl descriptively writes about Matilda's life in humour, suspense and reality of the way things are in life. I loved this book and was a favourite of mine when I was in primary school, and still enjoyed this best selling novel!!
