Matilda is my favorite Roald Dahl book and it tells the story of an extraordinary and brilliant girl. At the age of one and a half, Matilda’s speech was perfect and she knew as many words as most grown ups. By the time she was three,…

Perhaps my favorite Dahl book. Spunky, smart kid who loves to read has criminal parents and a monstrous school principal. She finds validation and love with her wonderful class teacher.

When I read Matilda, I was just like, "Wow, I wish I was like Matilda!" The plot was well-paced, the characters, just like all of Roald Dahl's characters, were quirky, humorous, just downright interesting. If only Miss Honey was a real…

Matilda by Roald Dahl is a book that I read for the first time in third grade, and it lives up to the standards of all of the other Roald Dahl books. The story is about a little girl named Matilda who is extremely intelligent, but her…

A good novel for young people, and especially good for those who have the misfortune of having parents like Matilda’s. Though I personally prefer the movie to the book, it was still an enjoyable read.

Had to re-read this since it was one of the only Roald Dahl books I don't own, as I recalled it being a little lesser than his others. And that still held true! It's charming and sweet and has lots of those (morbid, violent, bitterly…

*spoilers* Matilda is great, it is amazing. How can she read when she was 4?! My favourite part was when the newt dropped on miss trunchbull. Matilda is the best!

A girl who could speak like adults at an age of two? A girl who could read "Pride and Prejudice" at an age of four? A girl who could multiply numbers at a calculator's speed at an age of five? That is Matilda, now five and a half years old…

I took out our Roald Dahl collection because my 7 year old is going through books like crazy these days and I remember enjoying several of his books around that age. I decided I'd read some of the ones I didn't read as a child and started…

I gave this book to my little sister and she loves the story! Matilda's journey in the book has so many interesting characters, like her dishonest dad and her angry headmistress Trunchbull. Although my sister asked me to define some words…

Matilda’s family has never really acknowledged her. They left her alone in her room and didn’t teach her to read, or help her walk, so she had to figure this out on her own. It may seem like she has a horrible life, but she had a hidden…

It's always a good time for a book about a smart, determined girl who pushes back against tyranny and stupidity. Go Matilda!

As a child who loved to read, I was enthralled by the story of a young, precocious girl coming up against terrific and terrible obstacles. Full of hope for the future and love for goodness, this book will take you back to the realm of…
