Roald Dahl was my all time favourite author when I was younger and now I still have many of his books, who can forget some of his classics like Charlie and The chocolate Factory, I even went to see this teatre it was brilliant. Matilda, The Witches, James and The Giant Peach, George's Marvellous Medicine were other good books written by him. I apologise if I have missed any good books out, but these are the ones I can remember at the top of my head.

I must admit the time I read Witches I was very scared, but soon came to terms with it.

I was so sad when he died he really did win a place in my heart. I have read Tales of the unexpected by him, he shows that he can write for adults as well as children. He is great writer in my mind. I didn’t like reading, but I always had time for his books.

I think I will never forget this author, he made me read for the fun of it, and not because we were told, his style had something about, something which captures you. An outstanding writer who is no longer with us, but his books will be read by generations to come.

    I guess I found this opinion unhelpfull as we all know he was a brilliant writer, but you said very little about the actual book. sorry.
