Matilda Wormwood's father thinks she's a little scab. Matilda's mother spends all afternoon playing bingo. And Matilda's headmistress Miss Trunchbull? Well, she's the worst of all. She is a big bully, who thinks all her pupils are rotten and locks them in the dreaded Chokey. As for Matilda, she's an extraordinary little girl with a magical mind - and now she's had enough. So all these grown-ups had better watch out, because Matilda is going to teach them a lesson they'll never forget.

Loved it

I saw the movie a few times and absolutely love it, so I decided to pick up the book for a light read.

The story is about Matilda, a little girl who is gifted with intelligence way beyond her years. At the age of 5 Matilda could master complex multiplications, read all the children's fiction in her local library and even works from authors such as Dickens. Only problem she has is her parents do not embrace her unique talents, in fact they are not even aware of it.

The beginning of the book, or the first half, had me in absolute stitches! I loved this book! The description of the scenes are hilarious, I imagine a child sitting and chuckling along happily to this book.

Great book

28 July 2013 - Published on Amazon.com

This book combines wickedly funny humour with wonder and poignancy. I read this to my 10 and 8 year old. Dahl definitely pushes the limits of what is appropriate for children, but manages to stay just barely on the right side of the line in my opinion, which is what makes this book so good. Underneath all the hysterics this is actually quite a mature and moving tale dealing with child abuse/neglect, bullying, corruption (and possibly even murder), friendship and the miraculous. I felt like the message of the book is that whatever supernatural forces there are in the world are on the side of the innocent child and against the grown-up bullies, meting out poetic justice in due time. If you think this is a good message for kids to hear then you should read this to your kids.

It's still a great favourite. Now I have to try and find ...

Onto our second generation of children now. I got this on Kindle because our original copy was lost and my daughter wanted her children to have the pleasure of reading it. So - Gran read it to them as bedtime stories during the holidays when they came to stay. It's still a great favourite. Now I have to try and find the DVD so they can watch the movie too!

This is a very entertaining story for young people and those not so young

20 January 2013 - Published on Amazon.com

I purchased this book for my eight year old neighbour on my kindle. I was concern at his lack of reading ability as my friends son who is younger had read Matilda and found the story very entertaining. I read the book and found it amusing, I like reading children's books for light easy to read entertainment. I had heard of Ronald Dahl but had not before read one of his books.
Some of the language may be challenging to a younger child but gives them the opportunity to extend their vocabulary as it is not a chore as they want to know what happens to Matilda?

Classic for kids and adults alike.

This is a classic book - for both children and adults! I read as a small child and thirty years later came back to read as a adult. Love this book so much (perhaps even more the second time around!) Stands the test of time. Dahl's characters are painted with detail and hilarity. A true master writer
