... A re-read for me.
When rereading you get to experience the Roald magic all over again. I know there are a lot of 'things' to discuss about him as a person, but the magic he has in his books is still quite remarkable.
I really enjoyed The Witches and am going for a 4.5 stars. Yes, I'm rounding down. The only part that really stuck out to me (every time I read it) was that the little boy was 'okay' dying in 9 years, which was longer for a mouse life. And talking about mouse lives. I wish Roald would have leveraged a more positive, life goes on even as you lose grandparents view.
As that's my only sticking point, still a wonderful, interesting book otherwise. Scary, yet funny. You never know the real life lessons you'll get when picking up a Dahl book, but I guarantee you won't expect them. ....
