Summary: BOY by Roald Dahl
Review: BOY by Roald Dahl is one of the most weird but exciting books i've ever read.Its an autobiography only about his childhood.In the story there are lots of different tales.In Roalds secondary school the headmaster is the most strict and evil man you have ever seen.I would give Roald a 5 out of 5 and readers 10 to 14 read it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Boy
Review: This is an autobiography,It explains all about his childhood when he put a dead rat in the sweets and the shop owner went to their school to pick out the children who did it.I liked it when Roald faked that he was ill and when they said liquorice it was made of rats tail.It was a pretty upsetting time for him when his Dad died.He also went through a painful time when his nose was hanging off.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Boy Book Review
Review: This book 'Boy' is an autobiography written by Roald Dahl. It goes upto where he starts secondary school. He went to Llandaff Cathedral School where he got into loads of mischief. Roald Dahl didn't like primary school much because he said it was boring. There were loads of funny moments in this book. One of them is where his family got a new car and they asked his sister to drive it, but there were loads of crashes. By the time they had finished with the car there were loads dents and bangs on the car. The funniest part of it for me was when Roald and his friends went into Mrs Pratchetts shop and put a dead mouse into a jar of gob-stoppers. It scared the old lady so much she went into Roalds school and picked the boys out.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The life of one of my favorite writers!!
Review: Boy is the autobiography of Roald Dahl. Dahl is one of my absolute favorite writers. He details his life from birth to the end of his schooling and getting a job with Shell in Eastern Africa. Once you start this book, you will not be able to put it down. The only bad thing about this book is it makes me feel like my life is so boring. Make sure to pick up "Going Solo", the next book which picks up where this one leaves off. It is even better!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: young dude story of a young author
Review: Boy is a book about Dahl's childhood. It involves Rolad' s funny ideas. It also has some serious moments, such as being hit by a cane. Dahl tells about his home, school, and friends. He also tells about a mean candy lady and about being homesick. I really liked the book although I don't read a lot of his books. I think it's a good read. I also think a lot of Dahl fans will like this book.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: "Fascinating!"
Review: Wow! I've always been a Roald Dahl fan, and have enjoyed many...unusual adventures from him. However, I really wanted to find out more about this author. I wanted to meet him, and reading this autobiography of his about his crazy childhood made me feel almost as if I were sitting right in Roald Dahl's presence, listening to him tell me all of these hilarious (well, it's not hilarious when Roald's father and sister die) MOSTLY hilarious occurances. I really recomend this book for you if you're a kid wanting to read a short book about something that's guaranteed to give you a good laugh. Maybe even if you're an adult you'd like to read something about one of the world's most fabulous story tellers ever.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Boy, this book is great!
Review: This book is awesome. It is one of the best autobiographies I have read. It is funny, sad, and exciting. I think every Roald Dahl fan should read it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A often very funny, interesting, and shocking novel...
Review: This piece of work by the classic children's author, Roald Dahl, is wonderful. It tells stories of young Dahl's life in boarding schools, summers on islands in Norway, and other adventures. Often, these stories are very humorous, and very interesting. But, sometimes, it's just plain shocking and unbelievable. Especially, when he gets to talking about his Headmasters and "Masters" (teachers) at his schools. I recommend this book to any real Roald Dahl fan. You'll not regret reading it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: truly Roald Dahl
Review: If you like Roald Dahl you'll like his book. The funniest (and most horrific) stories of his childhood up to age 20 are written appropriately from the perspective of a child, not as an adult reflecting back. "Then suddenly came the frightful searing agonising unbearable burning across the buttocks...I was determined not to make a sound, for that would only give the executioner greater satisfaction." An episode at boarding school...
