|comment= You know, I don't share these authoritarian criticisms of Dahl either, but there is something about most of his books that I dislike - a guey, gross, sticky gruesomness? I suspect it might be as simple as the fact that they often seem to contain the motif of eating people and I have a hangup about famines & real acts of caniballism.
And who would guess that I like Matilda the best :-)

|comment= Well, get used to him, cos he's about the best you're going to get among the ranks of the "supporting readers" you get in the home-school reading programmes!

|comment= Oh, I like Dahl, it's just there is something about him that bothers me and it's not the bad adults & authority questioning.

|comment= My daughter is a BIG Dahl fan and loves this book as much as all the others. His writing has helped inspire her to want to be an author - and she is only 8!!
As an adult who reads these aloud to my children too, Dahl books are a delight to read!
