Matilda is one of my favorite childhood stories that I have read at least a dozen times and still love today. Dahl is able to capture the mind of a child and create a fantastical story that captures not just your attention but your heart as well. You root for Matilda, you put yourself in Matilda's shoes, and you get lost in the world that he creates.       I would make a cup of hot cocoa and curl up with pillows and a blanket in the corner of my room and read Matilda. …

The screen version manages to be contemporary in feel and yet still keep the essences of Roald Dahl's Matilda. Delightful adventure for family viewing, a favorite with young girls.

A touching and emotional tale of friendship and the hardships one face when growing up. Really amusing too.

Matilda is great, I loved reading this when I was younger. Matilda is a very independent and imaginative little girl, and I felt like I could see part of myself in her. I recommend this book to kids who like fantasy books, but not necessarily adults although it is a very good story maybe for your children/niece/nephew/etc. The setting of the book is not really specific, but most of the events occur either at Matilda's house, her teacher Miss Honey's house, or at her school. The story is …

If you love this book, read "The Magic Finger" by Roald Dahl, as well. Its somewhat a basis for Matilda.

By far the coolest girl ever created! Roald Dahl does a great job with the drawings as well. Genius.

review by . June 20, 2010
   Amazing book. Even though it's been a few years since i read this book i can still clearly remember the whole story. It is one of those books that you will never forget because of the makeup of the story. It was just put together in a very fun way that every children will like. Not only am i a fan of this book, but many of the Ronald Dahl books, he is just a great author for children books.   For many kids this book might seem a bit long but once you start reading and …

This is one of Dahl's last books. Therefore, try to compare his writing style in this book to his earlier books to get a good idea how he progressed in his writing career.
