Me gustó. Claramente es un libro infantil de otra época, con otros estereotipos y problemas. Matilda es encantadora y te da ganas de leer más sobre sus aventuras y su ingenio.

I love Roald Dahl’s writing style. It’s perfect for precocious kids and just as charming to read as an adult. The story itself heartwarming.

For those interested in adaptation comparisons, the book and the musical for the stage are a lot closer to one another than the book and the 1996 film.
