Hey! :bye2: I just wanted to know what other people thought about Roald Dahl's other books? My absolute favorite is "The BFG" and I also like "The Witches." So what do y'all think?

I love Roald Dahl! My favorite of his books is Matilda. The Twits is really funny, too :) I need to re-read The BFG; I haven't read it since I was about 10.

My favourite Roald Dahl book has to be "The Wonder Story of Henry Sugar and six more". I loved it! Also "The Great Automatic Grammatizator and Other Stories" was good, but I never finished all of them before it was due back at the library. It had some good ones.

Apart from that, I really liked "Boy" and "Going Solo". In yr 7 we read a bit of "Boy" aloud - where he has his ananoids riped out, and I had to leave the classroom... nearly fainted... :blush:

Roald Dahl is one of the most brilliant authors I have ever heard of. :) I love all his books, particularily Matilda and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

I've read Matilda some years ago, and I enjoyed it. Not one of my favourites, though ;-)

I love Roald Dahl! I loved the Henry sugar thing too, my cousin lent it me ages ago. I also love Boy, and Matilda - he wrote such great books!

I love Roald Dahl! I've just re-read the BFG and Matilda and the Witches are great, too! He combines so funny things with serious problems. He's a genius! :-D
