4 stars (First Dahl Book)

My thoughts on the first half of the book: cute & wholesome

Second half? Kind of started doubting that this was a childrens book.. the suicide part might be too raw for some kids who might not even know of such a thing yet. 

Nevertheless it was an enjoyable read. Will certainly pick up more Dahl books.
