I don't know why I never read this book as a child, since the movie is still to this day one of my favorites. I absolutely loved this book and it was so nostalgic to read. I was happy that the movie was very similar to the book.
I loved Matilda's love for books and learning! Miss Honey was of course one of my favorite characters. One of my favorite parts were the pranks that Matilda plays on her terrible parents.
The pacing of this books is a little low, but I highly recommend this books for anyone who loved the movie as a kid.
