A review by heyheybooks
Esio Trot by Roald Dahl

3.0

I read this as a child, and reading it as an adult definitely reveals some other ideas... such as the ridiculousness of Mr Hoppy and how inappropriate what he does is, as well said by Patrick Rothfuss in a review of his. But I enjoyed the writing style, and the mathematical themes good for young readers. This was the shortest book on my “unread” shelf (even though yes, I read it as a child - I’m still counting it as previously unread) and I decided to start the year off promptly after midnight reading it as the first in my project to read all the short books on my shelves this year. ;)
