Title: Matilda
Series: N/A
Author: Roald Dahl
Read Before: yes
My Comments: I loved it, it wasn't because it had a beautiful, complex, elegant plot, but of the innocence and simple feel of it. It seemed more like a classic fairytale than a novel with a moving story. You cared for the characters, and sympathised with Matilda, you might not agree with everything she does, but you forgive her for it, since she’s so young. The simple illustrations complement the text very, very well, adding a lot to the story. I wouldn't say there was a lot of humour, but there is a lot of amusing events, that you can't wait to see what’s going to happen next. I felt the book ended in a rush, if it was closed off more slowly, it would have been perfect. The most attractive feature of this book is the sheer simplicity of it.
