Book Reviews of The Twits
Book Review: Some crude humor mixed with friendship and a moral ending
Summary: 3 Stars
THE TWITS is a funny and enjoyable little yarn which stinks of some gross humor and yet warms the readers with stories of friendship and helping each other as well as a couple of moral lessons in the tradition of Aesop. On a side note, the "crude" humor in this little book is fairly tame by today's standards.Book Review: Horrible Book For Children
Summary: 1 Stars
No wounder why we have so many shallow people in this world, and bullies in schools. They were probably reading garbage like this. This book tells kids that ugly people are all mean, and beautiful people look like that because they are nice which is far from the truth. There is to much violence that it is on the verge of sadism. Whatever happened to books that inspire kids to forgive people who do them wrong. I'm glad I didn't read this book in my school, but I'm upset my child read this garbage. Something is definetly not right with the school system, and Mr Dahl if this is your idea of a childrens book. I can't believe that parents would even think this book is great. All I can do now is explain to my kid why this book is total, and complete garbage.Book Review: An Awful Book
Summary: 1 Stars
I have read most of Roald Dahl's books and this has got to be the worst of them. The plot goes no where fast and the characters are indeed twits like the title implies. Good thing it was so short or there would be no way I would have finished it ever!!!!! I hate this book don't go near it with a 39 and 1/2 foot pole.Book Review: sad reflection on Dahl's life at the time?
Summary: 1 Stars
Who wants their child to read a book about a hateful couple who spend the entire duration of the book fighting back and forth? I, for one, do not. Knowing that Dahl divorced shortly after this book was written makes me wonder if this was possibly a reflection of his feelings at the time.
