i've just realized i've never added this book, which is so blasphemous. this was literally one of my favorite books as a kid, alongside harry potter. i tried to move things telepathically like matilda after i read this.

Don’t love the pacing or the glaring plot holes (Miss Honey is NOT following safeguarding law) but for being aimed at children it’s pretty damn solid

Me se está historia completa gracias a las versiones cinematográficas pero me hacía falta leer el libro. Muy divertido y la vez crudo, característico de este autor según sé. Fue tan ligero y divertido leerlo. Algo que ahora veo es el gran trabajo que hicieron con las películas que expanden ampliamente la historia y le dan más profundidad aunque como en toda adaptación se pierden algunos pequeños detalles.
