I suspect that if I read up on Roald Dahls history, I'll find a lot of references to his childhood, but I don't think this is one of his better books, especially when compared to masterpieces such as Matilda or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I think the plan was stupid even by my kid standards, and as an adult, it really didn't make sense. The plan by the witches really doesn't make sense. Its a book where even with the ending having a good outcome, the main character is still a mouse and will have a shortened life span.Īs for the story itself, it happens way too fast. All things children enjoy reading, but this book is more bleak, than what I would expect. But as an adult, I found it to be not very good, especially when compared to Dahl's other children's book.Īs is normal for Dahl, its dark, chilling and scary. So when I found it in a Little Free Library, I thought I'd read it again. I read this book when I was a kid - a long time ago and didn't remember a whole lot.
