Meetakshi & Matilda

Meetakshi Behal has never been a book-reader. Most of what she has read and enjoyed is Roald Dahl. Her favorite books are Matilda and Twits. Before writing this, I asked her to choose between the two. She was utterly confused and basically had no idea. Stepping in her shoes I find that I am in the same position as her, for Matilda and The Twits are both equal for me. Randomly, I picked up Matilda and here is my Blog review:

Matilda:

She had horrifying parents who never attended her and was the least loved in the family. Matilda Wormwood was never the favorite child. Her father was a car salesman, her brother went to school, and her mother went to play Bingo several times during the week. Gradually she became independent. And by the age of five she had read everything in her house.

The library was the only sanctuary where she further developed the passion for reading books. She was never appreciated for what she was and then she decided to punish her parents whenever they did something awful to her. After being caught has the culprit of many mischief’s it was decided that Matilda would go to school at Crunchem Hall.

Miss Trunchbull, an evil headmistress believed all children to be warts. She locked them up, made them eat huge heaps of cake and even throw children out of windows by their hair. Miss Honey her class teacher was the only nice adult she could talk too. When Miss Trunchbull is assigned to take over Matilda’s class, she realizes her potential. Matilda has psychokinetic powers which she decides to use for good.

My Opinion:

You’ll never find a person saying, I hate Matilda or I couldn’t even go though the first page. Nope. Not a single soul in the entire planet would say that. The book is that good. You wont even hear a criticism about a single page. That is the magic produced by Roald Dahl.. Its meant for all ages and conveys a powerful message easy enough to catch, even for me when I first read this book back in 2^nd grade. Believe in your self cause you are filled with potential. It could’ve been like those self help books but the way Roald Dahl. carries his words out makes it amusingly entertaining for his readers. Its funny, carries a message and inspires you, it’s the perfect must read book.
