Gli sporcelli

I feel full of the joys of spring! This was such a delightful little book. My morbid, inner kid couldn't have been more ecstatic! Should I call someone a twit or a nitwit? I guess, no. That would be very rude of me! My doppelgänger would approve otherwise. And since I'm not like my sinister doppelgä Leggi tutto

Unfortunately, I don't have any rose-tinted glasses for this one. So, as an adult, all I could think of is, " Dahl, what were you on ??" Mr. Twit was a twit. He was born a twit. And, now at the age of sixty, he was a bigger twit than ever. The Twits are ugly people - through and through. They think

I read a lot of Roald Dahl books as a child, and have read quite a few more to my own children, most recently to my disabled youngest daughter. The Twits was one of those. The Twits, although it has its moments, is one of my least favourite Dahl books, perhaps the least favourite. It's easy to be too Leggi tutto

Another re-read for the fun of it! This story pulls the reader to the edge, injecting silliness, fear, and all-around revenge into a larger plot that will have children giggling and washing their faces in short order. What is a twit? Not so easy to explain, is it? Well, Dahl seeks to provide the read Leggi tutto

Twits are ugly people who do horrible things to each other and others. They are not nice, and they are negative people who have been negative so long that the negativity has made them ugly. On Monday I was going to write a review that just said that I'm a twit. Which isn't really true, I'm generally Leggi tutto

I originally read this book in either elementary school or middle school and really enjoyed it. Since I am reading all of Roald Dahl's books again, I thought "why not," and re-read this one. Surprisingly, I don't remember this story at all. This book is about the grossest couple: Mr. and Mrs. Twit.

Who doesn’t love a good villain? And Mr and Mrs Twit are a delightfully nasty pair!
