). The seamless transition of the years was great, I hate pauses and detached chapters. Matilda is such a brilliant character, one you root for all the way through the book.

! And Mr. It was fun to see their banter, or rather see the woman reprimanding the kids nastily and the girl giving out justice by counter reprimanding the woman in her own funnily innocent ways. Although I had watched the movie adaptation of Matilda years ago and more recently when I came across it on a streaming platform, it didn’t stop me from it being my first ever Roald Dahl.

I remember getting absorbed in my very own copy of Oliver Twist when I was 9 and while I was nowhere near as precocious as Matilda I could identify with the way adults didn’t believe I could read at that level on my own. My favourite part is when the children gang upon Miss Trunchbull. You see, she was an exceptional child and as unlike her family as one could be. Such a descriptive book and such unimaginative pictures!
