Review: I though it was boring at the beginning. It is about a young boy name James Who lives with his Stepmothers. Now he lives in a giant peach. When they catch a lot of birds was my favorite part. I did like the ending. He lives with the bugs.

Summary: James and The Giant Peach is an excellent read!
Review: I read this book for my creative writing class. We had to do an assignment where we read ten children's literature book. I was dreading the assignment, but, I found this book and I remembered it was good when I was a child. So I reread this book, it was even more enjoyable the second time. It is extremely creative and will teach your child some morals. Their is the death of parents and aunts within the book, so it might not be suitable for younger children. It would be a good book for adults to read to kids.

Summary: A classic beyond all doubt
Review: "James and the Giant Peach" was the first novel Ireally fell in love with as a boy. Roald Dahl's cruel beginningdidn't faze me -- it just let me know he wasn't going to pull any punches, and tell me a real story. When James' parents are trampled by a runaway rhinocerous, I shivered. And when I met the horrible Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spike, I trembled. And when they were run over by the giant peach, I cheered. Personally, I think J.K. Rowling and the Harry Potter books are essentially Roald Dahl enlarged; that's probably why I love the Potter books so much. The Dursleys are just like Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker, and Harry is just like poor James before he's rescued by the man with the magic worms. While I'm not particularly fond of the movie (why, oh why does Hollywood always change the plots of classic novels?), I did love the animation. Children will love this book, and all of Roald Dahl's works. If you've got a Potterhead who needs a new fix while he or she waits for the next novel, send them the original Dahl books. They'll thank you forever.

Review: Years ago, my grade four teacher read this book to our class. My mother bought me the book to read along with her. I loved this tale of a boy who traveled in a big peach! This had my imagination going right from the start. James talks to bugs..who are personified etc. If you have children, read this to them...they will never forget you for it.

Summary: A Book Full of Imagination
Review: I am a tutor for a young child. I recently read this book to a child who doesn't like to read, and he could not put this book down. From a child's perspective, he found the book easy to read. He said the words jumped off the page giving him images in his mind. He loved the adventure and even put himself in the book as James. He pretended to be on the adventure and enjoyed every page. This book can jump start any child's interest to read. This book installs creativity and a fun love to read in a child.
