Summary: An exciting book
Review: This book is about a girl named Matilda that is really smart. Every morning at the age of four Matilda goes to the library and gets about 7-10 books. Her family does not pay attention to her. Miss Honey is Matilda's teacher. She thinks that Matilda should be put up to the sixth grade. Miss Trunchbull is the principal that is very mean. She picked up a little girl by her pig tails, and threw her over the fence into the garden and while she was flying in the air, she picked flowers for Miss Honey. Miss Honey loved them. But I don't want to tell you any more because if you get the book, you could hear her sweetness and poitenss and play in her adventures!

Summary: Matilda
Review: Matilda

The novel, Matilda, by Roald Dahl, is a story about young Matilda's discovery of books and her school years. Matilda is a girl who falls in love with books by the time she is three. She goes to the library every day while her mother is playing bingo. That is, until she goes to primary school. Matilda works hard to study ahead of her classes. Also, she plays secret tricks on her parents when they are more mean than usual to her. Matilda has to find a way to get through primary school without getting expelled.
I like Matilda, the main character. She is wise and very bright. Miss Honey has a great personality, she's very sweet, and isn't very wealthy. I didn't like "The Trunchbull" because she was evil and hated all little kids no matter what. Mr. And Mrs. Wormwood are so mean to Matilda, no wonder she wants to go to the library and get her mind off her home and family. The message of Matilda is to do what you'd like, and not what others do. That will get you farther. The ending was the best part of the entire story (but I can't tell you why!). The part I disliked was when Ms. Trunchbull blamed Matilda for something she didn't do. I was very satisfied with the ending because something you don't expect happens to Matilda.
Roald Dahl keeps his audience interested and paying attention. He gives in detail what each person looks like and how they act. Some of the vocabulary is a little difficult, but most vocabulary you will be able to understand. Children of all ages will enjoy this story, but I recommend it for ages 9 to 13 because of vocabulary reasons. I definitely recommend this book because of the adventure she has in her small town. You don't have to go far to have fun! I give this book ***** out of *****.

Summary: Matilda
Review: The book Matilda is by Roald Dahl. Matilda is a little girl who is ignored by her family. Matilda would go to the library every day while her father went to work, mom went to bingo, and when her brother went to school. She read all sorts of books. One day she asked her father if she could go to school. So her father went and found a school for Matilda to go to. When Matilda's father pulled up to the school it wasn't really what she expected. It was an old broken down school. Matilda got out of the car and met some friends. They told Matilda that the principal is the meanest person in the world. For no reason she'll put you in this thing called "The choky." It's an old closet with nails and rust sticking out of the wall. Find out if Matilda goes in "THE CHOKY."

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Wondererful!!!
Review: I enjoyed this book because it was very interesting and magical. I really like to read about magic things and the girl in this book has a magical gift. IT kept me reading until I couldn't read anymore. I also enjoyed it because its fun to read what this girl does to get revenge to her mean parents. Thats why I enjoyed it.

I liked the main character,Matilda, because she's smart and uses that to do things to her parents and also uses her magic to scare her brother. She's also very nice and becomes very close to her teacher.

The best part of the book was when she glued her father's hat to his head. It was the best part because it was funny and because I thought that her revenge was smart and left no clues to suspect it was her.

I loved the ending because the closeness to her teacher,Miss Honey, becomes a lot closer. It was a little surprising that she was able to do that but it was a good ending.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Matilda
Review: Matilda Wormwood is a girl who's parents don't really care for her. Matilda's parents really didn't know how to take care of a baby so they would leave her home every day. Matilda would be left home alone but that really didn't bother her it was one of the best things that could of happened to Matilda. Matilda starts to go to school at the age of 6 and had one of the meanest Principals that their is. When Matlida starts to go to school with one of the nicest teachers and has some really nice friends. Matilda is a smart she loves to read and is a really briallant girl.
One day when Matilda was in class the Truncbal came into class and Matilda got mad and moved the glass with her eyes. So all the other times that Matilda would get mad at someone she would use her magical powers to get back at people. So one night Matilda goes to the Trunchbuls house to get Mrs. Honeys doll back and does by getting the Trunchbul very scared.
Her father is a car dealer who who steals car parts and puts them on used cars. Her mother is a bingo player who hits on other guys. Mrs. Honey is a sweet who is sweet to her students.
So if you people out there like magic and complex stories then Ithink you should read this book. I thought that this book was interesting and I think that kids will enjoy raeding this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It's Amazing!
Review: Matilda, is a book written mainly for children and thus much of it is not quite possible. In other words, the book lets your imagination run wild. An example would be the nasty Trunchbull who took hold of a child by his hair, lifted him up into the air and flung him straight out of the window just because he was eating chocolates in class! And it would be a Guinness world record if a child like Matilda could read books like Shakespeare! So in that way this book, mainly for children is just for stretching your imagination like a rubber band.

Roald Dahl has made every single character in this book marvellously exciting but that is probably the only similarity between them. All the characters have their own unique personalities. For example, I will compare Miss Honey with Mrs. Wormwood. Miss Honey is a school teacher who was very startled by Matilda's brilliance on her very first day at school. Mrs. Wormwood, Matilda's mother, on the other hand was absolutely not interested in education or Matilda. Her opinion was that 'A girl should think about making herself look attractive so that she can get a good husband later on. Looks is more important than books," By reading this you can see how totally different each character is.

My favourite character in the book is Matilda who is a genius and a child prodigy. In Roald Dahl's words ' ...extraordinary, and by that I mean sensitive and brilliant. ...Her mind was so nimble and she was so quick to learn that her ability should have been obvious to the most half-witted of parents.' The parts where she takes revenge on her parents for treating her badly are full of suspense.

I would recommend this book to my friends as I have thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another Great Book by Roald Dahl
Review: Matilda Wormwood is an extraordinary child genius. She taught herself to read and speak before she was four-years-old--all without the help of her lazy, ignorant parents or older brother, Michael--and goes on to develop telekinetic abilities. Her teacher, Miss Jennifer Honey, is impressed with Matilda's accomplishments, and with further tutoring, she helps the young girl master her spectacular gift. This gift later becomes useful when Matilda decides to save Crunchem Hall Primary School from the sadistic Headmistress, Miss Agatha Trunchbull, and free her favorite teacher (Miss Honey) from poverty.

Like all of Roald Dahl's books, this was a breeze and delight to read, filled with lots of mature humor and fun games. The book was made into a movie in 1996, and although I never saw it, I'd encourage anyone who plans to watch it to read the book first. Generally, Dahl's books outshine the movie version. Highly recommended for 8 to 12+ year-olds.

Rating: 4 stars
