Top review for a book by Roald Dahl
Brandon wrote a review on James and the Giant Peach A Children's Story
My favorite of Roald Dahl's children's books, this was the very first book that got me into his works in the first place. The story is just so unique and we have such a kind-hearted, curious hero in James that children cannot help but read more to find out about what will become of him. The characters are extremely colorful and fun, and Dahl's imagination just runs way over the top. So much fun to read.

He is definately my favourite author!!! I read all his work!!!! Love all his work: Children book: humourous and funny and unexpected, short story: cleverly planned, somehow with a touch of the darkness; adult story, showed the even darker side of human

I was so sad when he passed away. Now I can share his books with my children. A magnificent, imaginative collection of works.

My childhood would not have been complete if it weren't for his books. I read them over and over and encouraged my students to read them as a 4th grade teacher. His work was truthful, inspired, and imaginative and I loved every second I was able to escape into his pages.
