Rating it a 5 strictly on the power of the nostalgia factor. I read this book for the first time at the tail end of 2nd grade when I was 8. It was the last library book I checked out that school year and I sped through it in less than 3 days.
I came across this book at a nearby bookstore a few days ago and bought it and another Roald Dahl book, The BFG, because I needed a literary pick-me-up, something that would be the mental equivalent Pedialyte. And it worked. I'm so happy I got to relive the way reading Matilda made me feel almost 25 years ago.
