Summary: Roald Dahl did it again!
Review: Roald Dahl did it again! In this new fascinating story he tells the tale of his funny and adventurous childhood of growing up as a boy in England. In "The Great Mouse Plot of 1924," Roald knows a pesky old woman that works in a candy shop. He and his friends find a dead mouse and decide that they will put it in the Gobstopper Jar. As you can probably guess, eventually she finds the mouse and screams! (After that they got in quite a bit of trouble.) The hilarious main characters in this book are Roald Dahl, and his friends in all of his plots and messes that they were always up to. Roald called this book BOY becaouse of the letters that he wrote to his mother,ending with "Love, Boy." The horrid headmasters at his various boarding schools would not allow him to write anything "bad" about the school, otherwise he would get whipped with a cane on the back or the ankles.

Summary: A Good Book Which Is Worth Reading
Review: For being an autobiography, this was a very good book. Dahl does, however, spend a little too much time talking about being caned, paddled, smacked, and any other form of spanking. It seemed to have a large effect on his life, but he should have wrapped it up in a smaller package.

Summary: PRANKSTER AGAINST THE WORLD
Review: What a cute read--about the youth and misadventures of a Norwegian boy raised in Wales and England during the 20's and 30's! The creator of that delicious childhood fantasy, CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY--tells all! Woe to cruel Headmasters and callous boy bullies who perpetuate (with Society's connivance) the curious system of excessive corporal punishment. Creative and imaginative, Dahl was familiar with the business end of several canes brandished with (dis)passionate self-righteousness. He describes his childhood and teenage experiences up through his first job, just hinting of his war activity. This is a very enjoyable book; it reads easily, with plenty of lively dialgue, excerpts from his letters, family photos and wry kid humor. One suspects that Dahl--who signs his weekly, yet subtly-censored leters home as BOY-- was not a favorite with his masters, except on the playing field. His fertile brain concocts many schemes to bring pompous or nasty adults down a few pegs. Undeterred by harsh canings, he continues to defy authority, and to comment privately on human brutality. One wonders why the British permitted such barbarism in private schools--a self-perpetuating system which rewards or encourages sadism. One hopes that boarding school conditions have been tempered in modern times. Will the real British graduate please stand up, so we may check for ancient cane lines! Did such treatment produce generations of tender-hearted Old Boys, as Dahl would have been if he had been granted Boazer status, which he had earned for athletics; or successive waves of beasts, eager to give as good as they got? There is much humor packed into these otherwise light pages, so don't miss this entertaining autobiography of an international boyhood. You'll chuckle and be outraged here and there, but you will not be bored. For kids of all ages, especially those who have spent the better (or worse) part of their lives in boarding school.
