What a delightful book! Kate Winslet's narration of the audiobook was wonderful, and so is the story. It's funny to read the book after watching the movie and seeing the musical, and I love the book for its whimsy. The characters are all so detailed and the plot is so normal yet unique. As a teacher, the relationship between Matilda and Ms. Honey really struck a chord. The writing is so funny, and the story is the perfect length with the perfect ending. I recommend this book to nearly everybody!
