2.0
Deeply disturbing how a man steals a womens pet to gain her love. Dahl is know for a child like horror/uncomfortable atmosphere but if it wasnt for the P.S at the end i wouldve gave it less then 1 star. Theres also a "teaching moment" in the beginning when Dahl tried to give history on tortoises being brought into europe from north africa, seemed very unsettling and didnt add anything to the plot.
