A review by jaimie_lynn
Matilda by Roald Dahl

5.0

This was an absolute joy to read! I loved it so much and I'm so sad it took me so long to pick it up! My husband made me watch the movie about 5 years ago when he found out I never saw it and I loved it. I'm surprised I didn't pick the book up immediately after. The best part is, I have such a bad memory that I didn't remember much of the movie so I was able to enjoy this story again for the "first" time.

I decided to pick this book up thinking it would be perfect for niece and I can cross it off my 1000 books to read before I die check list but I enjoyed it so much more than I thought possible. This might be my new favorite children's books. ❤️
