Matilda Review
The book Matilda is about a smart little girl. When she was three she had already known how to read. Her father Mr.Wormwood was a mean crook who sold old and crummy second hand cars for high prices and also her mum Mrs Wormwood spends every afternoon playing bingo and her brother Michael goes to school leaving Matilda at home by herself. When learning how to read at the age of three she teaches herself to read by looking at her parents magazines. since there are no books throughout the house Matilda goes to the local library and gathers books to read.
The Characters of this book are the two parents who are all so selfish and her brother Michael who is always nasty and not treating her like a nice sister.
As Matilda had loved reading so much she had decided to ask if she was allowed to go to school.At first her father had not agreed but than a few days later it was Matilda's first day at school at the age of five but finds out the only bad thing about this school is the headmistress the Trunchbull she is like a wicked witch to the children.When Matilda had seen the headmistress she had ran off into hiding and bumps in to another kid named lavender.Lavender and Matilda had also met a tall girl about twice their size.she had been telling them about whats the Trunchbull would do to naughty kids she had been telling them about the chokey and how she had been in there before.
When the bell had rang they had all ran to their classes and Matilda had a kind and bright teacher and her name is Miss Honey.
When Miss Honey discovered Matilda's smartness she was amazed that all the stuff she had done for school is just nothing if she knew so Miss Honey had given her year six text books and she was absoulutely brilliant at them.
Matilda and Miss Honey had been spending alot of tome together so Miss Honey had told her that the Trunchbull was her Aunty. Miss Honey had been renting out a small cotage since she had taken over her dads house.
When Matilda and Miss Honey knew that Matilda had powers she had made plans for the next time the Trunchbull taught their class.
She had written a message on the blckboared telling her to give Miss Honey back her house and money.
When Matilda and her family were moving she had told Miss Honey to adopt her since she had adoption sheets in her bag as her parents had signed she was now Miss Honey's child.
after all everything worked out pefectly and she had the childhood she had been looking for.
Matilda is a really interesting but fun book to read for both children and adults but the only thing I didn't like about it is just that her parents are mean and always abused her but also I give it a rating of 8 out of 10.

'Matilda' has creativity, horrid characters, and a plot and protoganist that only Roald Dahl would think of. Like all other Roald Dahl books, the pictures are quite messy, and the antagonists are all a bit too 'I'm-so-horrible-and-evil-compared-to-the-good-guy'Roald Dahl+chilling suspense+a girl who has non-violent special powers = 'Matilda'!

Matilda by Roald Dahl was a very good book suitable for all ages even little children + adults. Matilda is very intelliangnt and is a lovely character. The book really intrested me + I didn't want to put it down for one moment even when I had to go to bed. I didn't like the fact that the parents were so mean to her + abused her.

I really enjoyed reading the book and I think it's a great quick-read for adults and a great story line for all children. I didn't see anything bad except that the Trunchbull might scare some 3-year olds. It was one of the best books I have ever read. Great work!

I think Matilda is a really funny and lovely book to read. My favourite character is Matilda because she is clever and is pretty.

If you haven't read it yet, don't hesitate in thinking about reading it. If you have already read it, whats the harm in reading it again?

Matilda is yet another one of Roald Dahl's classic books, and as in many other Dahl books, the plot is about a super-talented kid who takes on nasty or brain-dead grown-ups and comes out on top. This book will have readers both young and old absolutely gripped from start to finish. It's a fresh and fun novel and has the usual Dahl eccentricities which make it a super read.
