Review # 1 was written on 2016-09-15 00:00:00 Richard Dubois Absolutely delightful. I really wish I'd read this when I was a kid - I would have related to and loved Matilda so much! I like that this is a book for children that doesn't cater to them - it treats them like intelligent beings. The plot was exciting, the characters fun, and the themes interesting. All together I've only read two Dahl books now (Matilda and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) but I definitely want to keep reading them!

Review # 2 was written on 2020-02-05 00:00:00 Allan Jones 7yo Emily would be so happy right now! Finally got around to reading this book and I'm so pleased it was so close to the movie I adored as a kid. The best scenes are definitely there and they still made me laugh. As an adult though, I have to say Miss Honey treating Matilda as an equal was... weird to say the least.
