I vaguely remember reading this as a kid and I didn't like it much. Reading it again - I still don't like it. It was alright but nothing much happens and there was no real connection to the characters. I just didn't care what happened to any of them. Still, I'm not the target audience. This book was weird though, the language was more sophisticated than most kids books use and it was pretty blunt - I mean the aunts get squished and are left "lifeless". Doesn't particularly seem kid friendly. 1.5 stars. It's readable and I did like the poems. Just not my cup of tea. ( ![]() 9/10, I really loved this one, I could read this one again later. Good story. This was a fun and imaginative adventure! I enjoyed the unusual characters and how they developed distinct, fitting personalities upon growing. It was delightful how they interacted kindly with poor James and were unusually cooperative with each other. I love children's books that not only entrance young readers but capture and keep the attention of adult readers just as effectively. This is one of those books! Roald Dahl books don’t need me to review them, you likely already know if you are in favor of your children ready these. Spicy, sometimes unkind, Roald Dahl is not for everyone but I do personally enjoy his books. no reviews | add a review
