Book Reviews of Matilda (Puffin Modern Classics)
Book Review: 5 whole stars of fun
Summary: 5 Stars
I LOVED LOVED LOVED Matilda. She got control over her dimwitted parents. By all that reading, she got fabulous mind power to MOVE THINGS WITH HER OWN EYEBALLS! I would love a power like that! Ms. Trunchball was mean! She twirled a girl by her hair! She said she was never a child. How could that be? And I wonder how her parents could wtch so much T.V, and be so rude! Espiecally to a teacher! Her father was u-fair, too. Selling cars like that to people! What a twit! I also watched the movie, I saw the book on my teacher's book shelf, I picked it up, and I just got hooked! I borrowed it, and I didn't give it back until the very last day of school! i think the book is better than the movie is! I also can't take it that Matilda read GREAT EXPECTATIONS at 4 years old! And all those other ones! I can't wait till I go back to the library again and check it out! You'll love this book, I Garentee.Book Review: Exquisit Child
Summary: 5 Stars
I adored Matilda. She was born into an abusive family with dim-witted parents. All they do is watch t.v and never pay attention to Matilda. She goes to the library every single day, and checks out tons of books to take home, things like Great Expectations, A Christmas Carol, Moby Dick, Oliver Twist, ETC. Her parents are so annoyed, that they send her off to school, where Ms. Trunchball, the headmistress, is very ugly, mean, and nasty to children. She hates them all. But Matilda soon falls in love with her teacher, Ms. Honey, and then she developes an exquisit power to move things with her eyes. I would love a power like that. I borrowed it off my teacher's book-shelf, took it home, and din't return it until the very last day of school! I would rather read this than watch t.v~!Book Review: A little girl named Matilda

A Little girl named Matilda
The book I am reviewing is Matilda by Roald Dahl. Matilda is a story about a little girl named Matilda who is mistreated by her parents.
She is very smart and wants to go to school. When her parents finally let her go she meets some very interesting people.
The story is about Matilda, her parents, her teacher and her principal.
Most of the book takes place in Matilda's house, her teacher's house, her principal's and her school. One of the themes in this story is that life isn't always easy. One of my favorite things in this book are that good things happen to the good people and the bad people too. I really recommend this book for anyone that is looking for a good and funny story.
Book Review: Matilda
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of Dahl's finest, a strong, hilarious, and touching story that hits the spot of all kids who cannot stand their obnoxious parents. I understand that lots of adults hate the anti-adult attitude, but that is what makes this book so appealing. This is about a young child who is capable of caring for herself.
However, Matilda is slightly different from the other kids. Not only is she a genius, but she has telekinetic powers. If she wasn't causing enough trouble before learning about this gift, she certainly does afterwards.
But it's always for the good of herself and fellow children as she punishes her parents and evil headmistress alike as a champion for kiddy heroics.
Book Review: Classic Storyteller for All
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read Matilda, The Witches, The Twits, and more of Roald Dahl's wonderful books to children of all ages, all economic levels, and from all over the world. Dahl has an amazing ability to captivate any audience. He also allows children to view Norwegian and British cultures.
His books are hilarious, full of rhymes, puns, metaphors, and rich with vocabulary. Dahl can take any reader, from age 5 to 95, to a whole new world.
Strongly, strongly recommend Matilda, The Witches, and especially Boy for children, teens, AND adults. Whether someone reads to them or they read alone.
