Summary: Fascinating childhood of a popular kid's author!
Review: I first learned about Roald Dahl from my son who is now grown up. I read Witches, Matilda, and others along with this fun, amazing, and insightful autobiography by a beloved author whom I "met" through my son.

BOY is the exciting autobiography that let's the reader in on the youth of an author who wrote some of the most original and entertaining books that I discovered as an adult. Dahl takes us to Norway for summer holidays, schools where they didn't hesitate to pounce on the

trouble makers, boyhood adventures, and frightening experiences that make the reader stop, think, and appreciate that you didn't experience some of Roald Dahl's shocking ones.

A fun, enlightening, sometimes shocking revelation of the boyhood of one of "kid's world's" MOST ENTERTAINING writers!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a very vivid memory!
Review: His childhood has begun with his father's death and has finished with graduation. Such a long story can be so boring but it's not the case of this book. It has full of vivid memory of one of the best storytellers. You can't stop reading once you pick up this book.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Boy
Review: The book Boy is about Roald Dahl's life. I thought it was a good book because I didn't know anything about Dahl's life and I never knew he got in so much trouble. I also assumed that he had been writing all his life but he actually was a photographer before he even started writing. His life was also very tough, when he was little he went to a school where he was hit with a cane and all the people were mean. His mom was very adventurous and witty. Overall his life was very fun and it was a good book.

Summary: "Boy Review"By stacey Carr
Review: The book "Boy" was written by Roald Dahl.It is an Autobiography but not one which goes all the way through his life. The best stories about Roald Dahl were when he put a mouse into the toffee-jar and got caught. That was quite the funniest of them all about his childhood ,but there was also one more which was when he had to warm the seat of a loo up for a special student. At Landaff Cathedral School(were Roald Dahl went)he sent his mother nearly everyday and she kept them in a little boxbut his mother got illbut she still kept going. So he was very unlucky becase his father also died when he was very young. Tht was very upsetting for him i imagine, but he soon got over it in a few years.Although i wouldn't be able to ever get through it.

Rating: 3 stars

Summary: Boy by Roald Dahl
Review: Boy by Roald Dahl is an autobiography about his childhood up to secondary school. In the story there are lots of anecdotes about his childhood for example he nearly got his nose cut off. Also there was a toffee shop anecdote. The person who owned it was called Mrs Pratchett and she never washed her hands. Roald Dahl used to go to the toffee shop with his friends and she was allways being nasty so, one day Roald Dahl and his friends made a plan to put a rat in a gobstopper jar. When she found it she was very shocked that she went to the boy's school which was Llandaff Cathedral School and reported it to the HeadMaster whose name was Mr Coombes. Anyway a search went went out for the boys who did it. Mrs Pratchett and Mr Coombes carried out the search and yes they did catch the boys. They were called out to the HeadMasters room and got the cane three times. The age-group for this book is probably ten to thirteen years old roughly. I recommend this book definetly to other people who have not read it before. I give itfive out of five.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: BOY
Review: This book is an autobiography but not about all Roald Dahl's life it only goes up to when he finishes secondary school.One of the best parts is when they find the mouse at their school and it's dead. They go to mrs Pratchett's shop and put it in the gob stopper jar I wont go on or I'll spoil it for you. Even though it was funny it's also sad.
