I thought this book was super fun!! Really enjoyed reading it:) So many silly awesome words and a cute story with nice illustrations. I love the ending, children’s books really make you suspend belief and always end happily.

“The witching hour, somebody had once whispered to her, was a special moment in the middle of the night when every child and every grown-up was in a deep deep sleep, and all the dark things came out from hiding and had the world all to themselves.”

Forgot about this classic that I read as a kid. Wanted to reread to refresh the memory. Roald Dahl was one of the bests.

This is my all time favoritestestestestest book. I find myself coming back to it over and over again. I first finished this in grade school (a major accomplishment at the time). And then, randomly came back to The BFG in college; and had a whole new appreciation. It seems every 3-5 years I come back, and gain new perspective - the best sort of books.

I know I should love it because it's a classic, but it didn't hold my attention. My kids weren't really all that impressed either.

This book is quintessential Roald Dahl-it's zany, sweet and super inventive! This is rather a quick story, in terms of the amount of time it covers (about 2-3 days), but that didn't detract from events contained. Sophie and the BFG were an entertaining group of heroes, and I found myself grinning throughout this zippy read.

I recommend this book to all fans of Roald Dahl, or any who enjoy zany fiction. This book is great for kids getting into chapter books, and really for any reader of any age!
