Summary: It is an excellent book
Review: When Matilda is born her parents treat her as a scab, not a daughter. So Matilda learns to look after herself. By the time she was one, Matilda had taught herself to read. She found every magazine in the house and read them. By the time she was three, Matilda's speech was perfect and she knew most words that grown - ups used. Now she started walking three blocks down the road to the public library. Matilda quietly walked in and politley asked "Where are the childrens books please." "Right over there. Would you like me to help you pick one out with lots of pictures in it." said Mrs Phelps. "No thankyou", said matilda "I'm sure I can manage." So Matilda walked of and sat down in the big arm chair and read a lot of books for 3 hours. The Librarian said, "You know that public libraries allow you to take book home and read them." and i couldn't be bothered to type anymore

Summary: Matilda is quite a pathetic book
Review: If Matilda existed and if she really had anything between her ears, she would not like this book. The humor consists of endless repetitions of the scathing insult "You little twit." Matilda, who has had no exposure to intelligent conversation and has never heard of mathematics, has an adult vocabulary at two years and can multiply any numbers in a second, not to mention pushing things with her eyes. Roald Dahl's sick humor and pathological desire to revolt are ever-present. The only thing that can be said for it is that it might conceivably encourage children to read more. However, this is no use if readers are bent on, against all common sense, reading Matilda over and over again.

Summary: The book is better than the movie.
Review: Matilda is truly an excellent book. If you have never read it because you have already seen the movie, I stongly suggest you read it. Roald Dahl is a wonderful writer, and his books are always better than the movies.

Summary: SBW & LC's Review of Matilda - Perth Western Australia
Review: I thought the book Matilda was pretty joy because it proves how horrible some teachers can be and Roald Dahl and Quinten Blake are pretty good writers and ilustrators.

Summary: A Marvellous Favorite of Mine!!!
Review: Roald Dahl at his best! I have read a few of his books and none can compare as well as "Matilda." Even as Roald Dahl is my favorite author and I have always ejoyed his every word in each book, this one tops them all! When I had first glanced upon the book's cover, I wasn't quite sure if I would enjoy it or not, but I tried it anyways because it sounded interesting. (It was the first Roald Dahl book I had ever read which started me up.) When I began to read it, I was overwhelmed with pure pleasure. If I were asked to sum it up all into two words, it would be "Marvellously clever!" As I read it, it was smiles all the way through! I am positive that most anyone of all ages will enjoy this as much as I have with the same reaction. Another word of advice: The more you read it, the better it gets! I've read it THREE TIMES! For those planning to read it: ENJOY!!!

Summary: One of the best books I've read!!!!
Review: I really liked the book Matilda. My teacher read it to my reading class. She gave lots of expression to The Trunchbull. I also enjoyed reading parts of the book myself. It was a great book about a girl who had amazing powers and her determination to try to bring out the truth about The Trunchbull. Roald Dahl writes very good novels. He has a neat way about writing them. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes reading great literature.

Summary: Roald Dahl does it again.
Review: Funny, entertaining, and a wonderful read. Dahl was the most imaginative writer EVER and he was never scared of insulting adults. This leads to hours of fun for readers of all ages! The pictures by Quentin Blake are excellent, too. I loved this book. Matilda is a brilliant little girl with a heart of gold living in a world of (mostly) ignorant adults--trunchbulls if you will. With her wit and her special powers, there's no end to what Matilda can do!

Summary: This is an exciting,adenture story for kids.
Review: This is a book about a girl who has a great imagination and because of that she could move small objects if she imaginated it hard enough .She had perants that did not care if she had powers or not because they thought it was a joke.It is one of those book that once you start you can not stop.She did not like the horrible,disgusting head master.Matilda loved to read books especially adventure novels.
