Matilda by Roald Dahl
4.0
My brother bought the book for his 'readathon' in school and I decided to give it a go. I haven't read anything in so long and a children's book is always a good was to start again, right?
I haven't read a Roald Dahl book and ever got disappointed, Matilda is just the same. I absolutely adore the way it was written. It had 'funny bits' in it most certainly! Haha, bad reference...anyway!
Matilda is a phenomenon, that is to say Matilda the girl and Matilda the book (also Matilda the movie!)
It felt like a good story that has enough fun, education, peculiarity and darkness. Just the little bit that is needed.
I just wonder, do children ever feel jealous reading about the genius Matilda? Because it is something to worry about.
Also the body image really provoked me. The bad parent and the bad headmistress, the two brutal women Matilda doesn't particularly like are both big women. But good, poor, thoughtful and smart Miss Honey whom Matilda stays with is a tall porcelain-like 'fragile' woman. Why?
