Summary: The kind of books children want
Review: This book is the sort that will draw a child into reading. They are mature enough to please a child's sense of adult, and simple enough where they won't get bogged down with the reading comprehension. I have just reread this book at age 31. The last time I read it was about age 15. It was even better the second time around!!

Summary: Entertaining & worth 4 bucks!! Just kidding! Just Read It!!!
Review: This book was very interesting & I liked it very much. I think that Roald Dahl should write more short stories because these were great! He is a wonderful writer & I hope he never stops writing. I have read almost every single one of his books. If you like this book I think you would like the BFG & Matilda ( Not the movie version! ) There are also great books! Anyway this book is great & it is worth a good laugh & a lifetime!

Summary: The Scrumdiddlyumptious storyteller has struck again!
Review: This fantastic book filled me with such mirth that I selfishly locked it up in my cabinet so no one else could touch it! My personal feelings was that this book was so deliciously great that it should be kept in brilliant and fine condition. In this impeccable book, the seven short stories clearly explain the saying: "It's not quantity, it's the quality." Each story has its own personal message and philosophy, both comical yet serious in a way. Dahl is a genious

Review: This is a great book. There are seven stories each one as fun and interesting as the next. In the first book entiled the The Boy Who Talked to Animals a man goes to Jamaica and as he was sitting on his balcony several fisherman bring up a turtle. Now you may be thinking so they bring in a turtle so what. Well heres what. This was no ordinary turtle. It was atleast five ft. long and four ft. across and a big crowd of hotel guests had come to stare at this magnificent creature. In this crowed of people was a certain very special boy, the boy who talked with animals. He begs everyone to let the turtle go as here kneels down and hugs it. What happens after that is for you to find out. In the next story entitled The Hitchhiker a man pickes up a hitchhiker who turned out to be a fingersmith (also known as pickpocket). The man drives too fast and is pulled over what happens next is for you to find out. The next story is The Mildenhall Treasure which is a true story - in fact one of the only true stories that Roald Dahl has ever written. He wrote this story because it was so interesting that he just had to. This true tale takes place in 1946. This story is about a treasure found and a man who lost a great oppertunity. Read this story and you wont be dissapointed. The Swan is a story about two child thugs Ernie and Raymond who go hunting and find bird wathcing Peter Watson.

Read to find out more. In Lucky Break Roald Dahl explains the amazing way he became a writer. And lastly in the true story A Piece of Cake Roald Dahl has the story that led him to his lucky break.

Summary: a piece of cake
Review: this is the only story i have read from the book so far, having just read it this last saturday to my 7 year old cousing before he drifted off to sleep. I'm seventeen and have read a fair share of literature. I enjoy Vonnegut, Lewis, steve Martin, Camus etc..., and I must say that this was one of the most captivating stories I have ever read, taking into account its short length of course. It wasn't epic, but I was driving and caustic. I loved it, and I will buy the book, even that one story would be all that was worth reading, which I highly doubt. I'm just rebuffing the last reviewers oppinion on the "Piece of Cake" story, so that someone might be given a second oppinion. Fusion is awesome, chech out billy cobham, I'm a Christian but I won't be voting for Bush when my first valid election comes around, I play the drums but I don't care for metal or rock n roll, stocks to watch are eag, emrg, almi, orch, and adzr, I'm single as might be assumed, and yes, I have a physics test tommorrow.
