I love Roald Dahl, and I feel like that's how I start all my reviews of his books out. I'm such a big fan of his work and have been for years that I've probably become biased by now. If you put a bad book in front of me written by him, I know I could find some good in it. But Esio Trot is definitely not a bad book, it's such a quick and enjoyable read, that you cannot fault it.
It's eighty pages and it's about an old man trying his hardest to impress the woman of his dreams, even if that is animal cruelty which is something I highly cannot stand. But the endangerment wasn't heavy, sure there were one hundred and forty plus tortoises in one room, and yeah Mr Hoppy was risking their lives by lifting them up and down over the balconies, but Dahl writes in such a child friendly way that you don't worry about it, and it all seems very child friendly.
