 Grizzly Old Grunion
Review of George's Marvellous Medicine - Roald Dahl by
jillmurphy
Advantages: Funny funny funny. Naughtiness gets its just deserts.
Disadvantages: I truly can't think of any.
George's grandmother is a grizzly old grunion. George dreads being left alone with her when his mother goes shopping on a Saturday morning and if you knew his grandmother you really wouldn't blame him. She does nothing but criticise and get him into trouble by telling tales on him to his parents. Half the tales aren't even true. George lives miles from anywhere, on a farm, and he hasn't many other children to play with. This makes it even worse when ...

Review of George's Marvellous Medicine - Roald Dahl by
luckyarchers
Advantages: Hilarious!
Disadvantages: Could turn you off eating celery for life.

There is also a warning printed opposite the start of the first chapter which is:
“WARNING TO READERS: Do not try to make George’s Marvellous Medicine ...

Pig Pills, Horseradish, Anti-Freeze and Lipstick
Review of George's Marvellous Medicine - Roald Dahl by
LR_17
Advantages: The entire book!
Disadvantages: Absolutely nothing!
...books that he has done, George's Marvellous Medicine is my favourite. I have nearly every Roald Dahl book he's ever written. Roald Dahl is a very easy author to spot and not just by his stories. The pictures that come with the books are very distinctive and when ever I see a drawing of that style, I know that it's a Roald Dahl book. The artist behind the drawings is the very talented Quentin Blake, who I think has made his name by doing the drawings ...
