Saya suka pada ketabahan ayah Danny membesarkan putranya seorang diri.
Saya suka pada cinta Danny dan ayahnya.
Saya suka pada gambaran bahwa mereka bukan keluarga sempurna.
Dan setiap orang boleh untuk tidak suka pada suatu hal.
Saya tidak keberatan semua orang di kota Danny tidak suka pada Mr Hazell, si kaya yang sombong.
Yang saya tidak suka adalah gambaran bahwa orang2 di kota itu menganggap sah untuk mencuri burung2 pegar yang dipelihara di hutan Hazell, hanya karena hal tersebut menantang, nostalgik, dan karena mereka benci pada Mr Hazell.
Ini bukan buku yang saya relakan untuk dibaca oleh anak2 di sekitar saya sebelum mereka punya KTP... dan tidak ada warga ber-KTP yang mendampingi :p

Dahl is a master storyteller and this is well told. I just don’t care much for the content.
I thought I had read all the Roald Dahl books when my kids were young, but this one was not familiar to me at all. At first, I totally thought it was based on the author's own life with his dad, but regardless, I really enjoyed it! I totally laughed at the ridiculousness of the baby's pram with the pheasants and just had fun watching Danny recount his life with his dad. Sticking it to the richest (and meanest) man in the county and finding out most of the town was in on it was also great fun! It made me wish this were a true story and could happen today, lol! This is one of those stories where Karma wins in the end. I don't know if I liked this more than Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, but I am pretty sure I enjoyed it more than the Glass Elevator. Definitely recommend this one!

This was the first book I ever remember losing myself in the story. The boy in the gypsy caravan living with his father behind a mechanic's garage. I forgot the book, forgot the title, but then years later while reading through Roald Dahl with my oldest daughter, I started on this one and it all came rushing back. I love this timeless aspect of reading.
My favorite Dahl book ever. The ending still makes me tear up.
A tender and gentle book, owing far more to the warm nostalgia of Dahl’s Boy and Going Solo than your various Matildas, Charlies and BFs G.
It makes me strive to be a braver, more adventurous father.

While this doesn't have the same level of wild imagination as many of Dahl's other books, it more than makes up for it by being one of his most warm-hearted.
