Review: This is an extraordinary book, and the reader is immedeately drawn into the fascinating tale. It begins like this......... Sophie is an orphan... One night, the moon was pouring in all it's brightness through her windows, casting light directly on her pillow, unable to sleep, then, Sophoe looks out of the windowand that's when she finds herself caught by a giant called the BFG(the big Friendly Giant), but a giant so friendly and kind, that when other giants go searching for edible humans every night, he eats horrible cucumber kind of vegetables. Soon after Sophie and theBFG gets to be friends and goes to meet Queen Elizabeth for help. In the end, Sophie gets to live in a big palace with the BFG. I couldn't put this book down, so I read it in one day! It's terribly fummy and interesting. It's the kind of book everyone will love reading.

Summary: A charming little tale
Review: I read this book to my son, who is a bright 8 year old. We liked it. In some sense it is a traditional children's story, with a fairy tale type view point, some suspense, and a happy ending. The giant's language is probably the most entertaining part. A bit reminiscent of Seuss, Dahl creates a giant who speaks something like English, but with all kinds of fractured words and expressions. The giant is an inspiring character, resolved to eat the repulsant snozzcombers rather than people, which are the preferred diet of his fellows -- and who occupies himself bring dreams to people at night. In some sense the ending is a bit predictable, but charming nevertheless.

Summary: A Snatch
Review: Would you like it if you got taken away from your house and your parents by a giant? I certainly wouldn't! Well if you like giants then the BFG is your type of story! I loved the BFG because of the awesome description! Also I liked the description of the setting. Dahl describes the setting using words like, "The blazing hot sun shining on the desert in giant country."
By the way, the "BFG" stands for "The Big Friendly Giant," but when I started reading it, I thought it was ?The Big Fighting Giant.? It couldn?t be ?The Big Fat Giant? because he is so skinny!
You should read the BFG, you will love it!

Summary: A book that turns out to be about the importance of dreams
Review: When I first saw the title of this book I got pretty excited. I have a friend with whom I often exchange cryptic lines of acronyms just to play with each other's minds (IHHIWBTFOTMOSLT). So when I saw "The BFG" I immediately started to speculated what the initials stood for: Bacon Fried Grease, Bunny's Favorite Goat, Blue Flavored Galoshes, and on and on. Well, it turns out BFG stands for Big Friendly Giant, which turns out to be somewhat ironic, because the BFG is actually the runt of all the giants we meeting in the telling of this story. I learned a lot of very interesting things from this story, which is about an orphan girl named Sophie who is kidsnatched by the BFG and taken to the land of the giants. I learned that all of the giants, except the BFG, eat human beans, and than human beans from different places taste differently. I learned that giants only treat human beans the way human beans treat piggy-wigs. (I also learned a whole lot of new words I never knew before reading this book.) I learned that if you spend half your time sleeping, then you are really only half as old as you think you are. And I also learned where dreams come from, how important they can be, and that "Oliver Twist" was written by some talented cluckers called Dahl's Chickens. Sophie is quite upset to hear that all the other giants are flushbunking off to England to swollomp a whole bunch of little chiddlers, she convinces the BFG to help her find a way to stop them. At this point a very important, very real person is enlisted to aid in the battle to save England from the giants. This was a very nice development because this person has been a character in another book that I really liked and it was really nice to see her again. Plus she was very helpful to Sophie and the BFG. In the end England is made safe once more and everybody lives most happily ever after. I think you will enjoy this book and that you would enjoy pretty much any book written by Roald Dahl. I also think that when you have finished this book, you might let your children read it as well.

Summary: Want to read a great story?
Review: The BFG by Roald Dahl is a fiction story that has an amusing giant as its main character. My favorite part is about frobscottle,a drink in which bubbles go down. If the bubbles go up you burp, if the bubbles go down you make a different noise. In Giant Country(where the BFG lives)that noise means joyfulness. I recommend this book because it is amusing and imaginative. I also liked it because it has a pleasant ending.
