Summary: Completely Wonderful in every way
Review: I first picked up Matilda when I was ten, (actually I got it from my mom for christmas, cause I asked her for it) and I haven't been able to put it down since. I think that Roald Dahl's books are so imaginative and utterly fantastical in every way; I love all of his books, but Matilda is my favorite. Matilda is extremely bright, brilliant and sensitive, despite her age, and she manages to cope with her intellectually opposite parents by playing wickedly delightful tricks on them every time they treat her especially badly. I was enraptured by this book, and suggest it to anyone, old or young, because everyone has a little child in them, and everyone loves a smile brought to their faces thanks to a delightful book!

Summary: Fantastically Wonderful
Review: I was first read this book in 2nd grade, when I was 7 yrs. old. I am 15 now and must have read it a dozen times or more(literally). And I'm still reading it! If you liked this book, I would reccommend The BFG (Big Friendly Giant). That is also awesome. The Twits is a good book to read for laughs(also by Roald Dahl).

Summary: My all-time favorite book.
Review: This book is so wonderful in every way. As an extremely bright individual, I find hope from this book which helps me get through the day. I cannot even remember how many times I have read it, although I am sure it is well over two dozen. If I could have just one book, it would be this one. As outlandish and unbelievable as the story might seem, it is just getting a message across. I believe that the message is that little things can stand up to big things. By the way, I am twelve years old and my I.Q. is estimated at 175.

Summary: Small Girl Big Brain
Review: Matilda is a five and 1/2 year old genius with a crooked car dealer for a father and a bingo obsessed mother. Neither one of which love or even care about Matilda. At school, there is Miss. Trunchbull, 200 pounds of kid-hating bully. The plot is moving and exciting, happy, yet sad as Matilda and the beloved Miss.Honey fight agaist the evil Trunchbull and Parents.The book inspired me. I liked the way she handled things so calmly. Roald Dahl is a talented and exciting author.

Summary: The smartest girl in the world!!!!!!!!
Review: This is a book about a small little girl called Matilda. I think she was so intelligent because she started reading books of 9 or 10 year olds when she was 4 years!!!. She hates her family. She would rather go to school than sit and watch t.v.Atlast she went to school and got the best teacher and the worst principal. If her principal went to the olympics she would maybe get 1st prize in shotput because she throws her students so far!!. The only person on her side was her teacher.Now I am not going to tell you anymore. Better read the book!!!

She finally gets to go to school and she has a nice teacher that helps her reaveal a special power within her. She also punishes her parents for all of their neglect in funny ways.

Summary: Uplifting and inspiring story about a girl......for once!
Review: This story is by far the best thing a parent could ever read to a child, male or female. It teaches stick-to-it-ness and determination.The charactor Matilda is a 6 year old genius that teaches her slow witted parents some valuable lessons, and then proceds to help her teacher and ultimatlely change her school for the better. The other charactors are well developed and hysterical, especially to youngsters, plus the illistrations are wonderful. I was first introduced to this book when I was very young and I cherish it to this day. Please read this to your children, because I guarentee, if you are a parent you will enjoy it just as much as they do. Roald Dahl was a wonderful and talented writter, I recomend anything he has out there.
