I adore Lamb to the Slaughter. I liked most of the other stories, but not nearly as much.

I love Roald Dahl's dark and humorous imagination.

There are 16 stories in this book, some really great, some great and some just nice. But all of them are good. Yes, sure, in one or two you can predict the end but the way Dahl writes and develops the story along with his twisted and entertaining imagination, still make them worthwhile.

My favorite stories were:

- Galloping Foxley
- Parson's Pleasure

Followed close by:

- Skin
- Dip in the Pool
- Taste
- Landlady
- Royal Jelly
