Tales of the Unexpected by Roald Dahl

5.0

---

An absolutely fantastic collection of short stories by one of the greatest authors of all time. Although Dahl is mainly known for his creepy, weird, creative, and hilarious children's books, this collection is intended for adults. Every time I began to read, I had an extremely difficult time putting the book back down. The stories are almost all comical, but they also all tend to have pointed moral lessons or social commentaries within them as well. And, quite unexpectedly, all of the stories tend to have twists which are entirely unexpected. A great read, and I definitely plan to pick up some more collections of his short stories as soon as I can.
