Summary: James and the Giant Peach, A Children's Novel
Review: As a 5th grader in my elementary school, I read James and the Giant Peach cover to cover 5 times, out of my own will.Roald Dahl's fiction work in this novel is fantastic, as well as fascinating. This selection describes the story of James, a young boy and his trip across the Atlantic Ocean, on a huge peach! James has several encounters including a shark attack, being attacked by cloud men, and having a run in with a group of Cloud Men, who are painting a rainbow. It all begins when James parents are violently scarfed down by two rhinos on the escape from the London Zoo, and poor James is sent to live with his Aunts, Spiker and Sponge. While working in a garden, James is approached by a fearful looking creature, much like a goblin, who gives him several special wormlike organisms in a plastic bag. With the right recipe, these organisms spell H-E-A-V-E-N for James, yet he drops them onto the ground... As an extraordinary children's bedtime novel, I rate this book Five Stars.

Summary: Creative and interesting story
Review: The author's imagination runs wild in this fantastic story about a little boy and his insect friends. In typical Dahlian fashion, the child wins over the mean and nasty adults. The insect world inside a peach is truly fascinating.

Summary: My Son Loved It!
Review: There is nothing more fulfilling than watching your toddler completely engaged at storytime. With every turn of the page he would announce the title headers "James and the Giant Peach" and "James and the Giant Peach", read me chapter numbers and page numbers as well. He's only four, but he really enjoyed the story about James and his adventures with the Old Green Grasshopper, Earthworm, Ladybug, Spider and especially the Centipede with his corny songs. As an adult I like Roald Dahl because he writes with a little EDGE, he doesn't put a sugar-coating on the world and its flaws. We'll be reading another one of his books soon. Now we are going to watch the movie.

Summary: a childhood favorite!
Review: Roald Dahl displays more of his magic that everyone has seen in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" in "James and the Giant Peach." Poor orphaned James Henry Trotter lives with his mean Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker who make him do all sorts of awful chores and treat him like a slave. The boy's situation is straight out of a Charles Dickens' novel. Then one day, the tree in their backyard grows an enormous peach -- and with this odd fruit, James makes his escape and finds friends in the form of ... GIANT BUGS! What's highly amusing is how all the bugs (and even the nasty aunts) all make up songs about their lives and/or each other. Dahl demonstrates a wonderful wit as he makes up the rhymes. This is a cute quick read for people of all ages!
