I know most favor Dahl's "Charlie and the chocolate Factory", but I like this book better. :)

I loved Matilda and Ms. Honey.

I feel this is one of Dahl's masterpieces. The characters are endearing, and the ending is little abrupt yet satisfying. I think abrupt endings are okay (and sometimes needed) for children's literature.

I especially enjoyed Dahl's description of Matilda's telepathy––he's explained it just like I imagine it'd be! This was one of the missing books from my childhood library. Any children I may have will read this!
