The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Six More by Roald Dahl
4.25
Giving it 4 stars because I took a long break between the stories and found out that they didn’t really stick in my head. Having said that it doesn’t mean that I don’t think that they weren’t amazing.
The Boy Who Talked with Animals
- this was a peculiar story but also a lovely one; it was the right amount of entertaining and easy to read
The Hitch-hiker
- I love love love this short story; the characters were so fun and I really like a little conversation heavy plot… makes you feel like you’re a part of the scene😌
The Mildenhall Treasure
- I appreciate the introduction to the story; I love it when the author gets involved in their works… makes them more personal
- this Ford guy needs a good kicking cuz damn that was dumb move from his side
the Swan
- wow, this is bullying on another level
The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar
- this was a story that contained a story that had a retelling in it; complex if you ask me but so damn interesting; man knows how to write!!
Lucky Break
- again! He made it personal and that so nice; it’s good to know how one came to be through their own words and Dahl does it so well
A Piece of Cake
- reading this wasn’t a piece of cake, I got lost while reading it
Final thought:
- I absolutely loved “The Swan” and “The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar”; both stories were complex in their own way and both stories were told really well
- I got into reading this collection of short stories because of the newly released short movies by Wes Anderson and wow, I did not realise how much inspiration this man draws from Dahl and it’s quite cool to see
- 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
