Matilda, is one of Roald Dahl’s best. Leaving the wonderfully clever and mischievous characters of Matilda aside. The book has all of Dahl’s trademark wit, and wordplay, alongside some of his best and most recognisable characters. Ranging from the Trunchbull, to Miss Honey, the book has some of Dahl’s worst and best characters, alongside as much humour as you would like. While some of its subject matter might be considered sombre, and their are parts of the book, where you feel awful for certain characters. Dahl’s and Matilda’s thirst for revenge ensures that you never feel wronged for long, and satisfaction is never long in coming.
