Summary: Dahl was simply brilliant
Review: Looking back on my twenty-three years, I remember the first time I was introduced to Dahl's writing. I was in the fifth grade, and our teacher was reading us "The Twits." From that day on I did my best to read all of his books. Matilda was always my favorite.
This book shows perfectly the differences in Dahl's writings when compared to others. Dahl was never afraid to create mean charecters that were exactly that. In Matilda we have a Headmistress that throws kids by their hair and locks them in a box that has broken glass and nail covered walls.
Don't worry parents. Dahl isn't out to scare your children. What I love about his writings is how Dahl creates a story to show how no matter how big the bully is, they can always be overcome by a small child filled with determination and intelligence.
I hope that every child has the ability to discover the world of Dahl. A world where it doesn't matter who you are, you can accomplish anything that you set your mind to. Where the unexplainable it explained. And where the life of an old english man touched the life of millions of children across the world.
The world needs more Roald Dahls. May his life live on through those he's impacted.

Review: MATILDA by Roald Dahl
©Brutal Dreamer, ReviewerRoald Dahl never ceases to amaze me. I adore his diversity along with his sweet way of making his fans and readers sincerely care what happens with his many characters: i.e. "Charlie Bucket", "Sophie" and now our heroine, MATILDA! Matilda is probably Dahl's finest creations. She is not only a sweetie but quite the genius with a heart to match. Dahl has been accused of hating children, due to his stories that involve many shenanigans that revolve around children and a their demise. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Witches, and even Matilda. All these stories center around adults despising children. Matilda Wormwood is a little girl that is neglected and treated badly by her asinine parents because of her intelligence. She has taught herself how to read and even finds her own way to the library. Matilda's passion is overwhelming when it comes to books. Matilda develops telekenitic powers and uses them in the most ingenius, resourceful and cute ways. Especially on her mean old Principal, Miss Trunchbull. However, her teacher, Miss Honey is a soft spoken, sweet as honey teacher who loves being around children and teaching with bright colors, cute little ditty's, and dances. Matilda's dysfunctional life at home is ludicrous and certainly shows Dahl's grim outlook of children but drives out some of the best stories ever written. By the time Matilda enters school, the little darling has read the old classics from Jules Vern and Charles Dickens. Matilda is a very well-rounded and cultured little girl, who dwells in the most horrible of circumstances and living conditions. She is truly a hero by every sense of the word: HERO. She will warm your heart and keep you smiling as you turn the pages. The book is beautiful as the words inside. A must have for Dahl fans or readers that just enjoy a delightful reading excursion into another world, a world of Dahl. ~Brutal Dreamer

Summary: Not great, not bad, but okay book
Review: This story is about a five - year old girl in France. Her name is Matilda and she has a nasty old dad, fat plumpy mom, and a normal old brother. You see, Matilda is not just an ordinary girl, she is a genius. So brillient, that she could skip to 4th grade! She started to read newspaper and magazines when she was three- years old. At four, she went to the local library and read all the books!
Not that she is only smart, but nice. ...
My favorite part in Matilda was when Matilda seemed like a little girl to everyone but, inside of her, she has physic powers. She has powers to push, pull, grab, and to throw any objects at will with her eyes with 9 feet distance! That is one of the way she helps Ms. Honey .... I think that part is the best part of the story.
"Why this book?" There isn't really an answer to that question. "Well, as usual, I was playing games when my mom stops the game system and tells me to read a book. So I went to my room and picked out a random book on my shelf. The book of comes called "Matilda" and I started reading it when it started becoming very interesting! So basically, the answer to that question is my mom told me so!

Summary: Amazing Abilities
Review: "Matilda" is a fun and interesting novel. Matilda, the main character is a six year old girl who can move things with her eyes. She uses her powers to help her teacher, Miss Honey, and to get back at her parents who neglect her. Roald Dahl did a very good job writing this book. I like this book a lot because it's fun to read and it's hard to put down. I also recommend that you watch the movie.

Summary: Matilda
Review: What little girl who is so brilliant, deserve to be treated as if she has no feelings. Matilda is so sweet, but treated so bad. Her parents are always gone and Matilda is home alone. Two dumb parents who doesn't care for a young 5 year old.
Well 5 year old Matilda can do double digit multiplication.
Secretly she can make things move with her eyes by just looking from a distance away.
Miss Trunchbull is a nightmare for teachers and students.She will make some one misserable just to look at them.Miss Trunchbull will through a kid by their pigtails or a boy just by the hair. She doesn't care, she pulls kids by their ears too.
On the other hand Miss Honey is a soft gentle teacher who would break into shaders if she fell.Miss Honey gets along with Matilda so well, they get along better than Matilda and her family. READ this book!! find out what Matilda does to Miss Trunchbull with her powers. Find out new things with Matilda.
