Esio Trot by Roald Dahl
2.0
*mild spoilers*
Re-read this as a bit of a cheaty way to reach my end of year reading goal.
I remember loving it as a kid and finding it hilarious. Having now read it through an adult’s eyes, the whole “trick her into marriage” narrative felt so gross. I understand that its a classic and Roald Dahl is of his time but I definitely won’t be reading it to my niece or nephew now.
2 stars for the charming little illustrations.
