Book Reviews of The BFG
Book Review: The BFG
Summary: 5 Stars
`The BFG' is another simply delightful book from Roald Dahl. This follows the adventures of the orphan Sophie who sees the BFG one night as he blows dreams into children's bedrooms and is taken to live with him in his cave. They are surrounded by nasty, children eating giants and the rest of the book looks at how they capture them and rid the world of their tyranny. Although that is a brief snapshot of the storyline, this book has all of Dahl usual charm and imaginative writing that is a delight to immerse yourself in. From small touches, like the foul snozzcumber the BFG eats, to how the Queen builds a giant sized table when The BFG comes for breakfast, it is the details that make this story as rich and engaging as it is. There are wonderful illustrations from Quentin Blake throughout and these only add to the charm of the overall book. If you're a fan of Roald Dahl this shouldn't disappoint you and if you're new to his books then this a good first one to try. I also heartily recommend `Danny the Champion of the World'.Book Review: Marvelous!
Summary: 5 Stars
Roald Dahl is truly a master of children's literature. I loved the BFG when I first read it at the age of nine, and ten years later it still holds remarkable appeal. Dahl's quirky tales create the perfect escape from daily life into an unforgettable world that is equally capivating and fun. The adventures of the Big Friendly Giant and Sophie will always recreate the carefree spirit of childhood in me.Book Review: Gotta love the BFG
Summary: 5 Stars
We first read the BFG 15 years ago when my oldest was small. We lost the original copy in a flood years ago. We just replaced it and reread it. It's like watching Monty Python; once you read it you never talk quite the same way again. The Big Friendly Giant does good and always puts the needs of others first. Uncommon virtues today. So watch for whizzpoppers and enjoy.Book Review: BFG
