MINIPIN

2.5 rounded up. This short Audiobook was read by Bill Bailey which was great! However the story wasn’t as great. Definitely quintessentially Dahl but very similar to his other stories.

یکی از علایق من خوندن کتاب های کودکانه هست این کتاب رو برای خواهرزاده هشت سالم خریدم و خودمم خوندمش،داستان در مورد پسری به نام بیلی هست که یک روز از پنجره به جنگل زل زده بود و به گفته های مادرش در مورد موجودات خطرناک جنگل فکر می کرد که ناگهان تصمیم می گیره راهی این ماجراجویی بشه و توی جنگل با آدم کو Leggi tutto

And with this story, for the first time illustrated by my beloved Quentin Blake, I end my journey of reading every volume of my Roald Dahl box set. I cannot say I loved every single book - I actually despised some of them ahah - but, overall, I am glad of my better knowledge about my favourite auth

This one's got to be my least Roald Dahl favourite of all times. The character development is good. But it's the fantastical world development and representation that felt like they have been borrowed and the characters in this world lack charm.

Like most I devoured Dahl as a kid, there was something magical about the stories. Some of that charm was Quentin Blake's illustrations, they just fitted so perfectly. As it transpires Blake did all but one of Dahl's books, so to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Dahl and Blake's first collaboration Leggi tutto
