A review by emiged
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang by Ian Fleming

3.0

Fun adventure story with a touch of magic kept the kids interested and engaged (we read a few pages before bedtime every night). I like the narrator's asides to the reader, explaining terms or joking about the characters - my kids got intermittent history and geography lessons to make sense of the story.

The boys were disappointed that the movie (which they watched after we finished reading the book) is such a departure from the book, though.
