Book Reviews of The Twits
Book Review: Expect the unexpected
Summary: 5 Stars
I love the outrageousness of Roald Dahl's books. He refuses to follow the predictable formulas of children literature, and each turn of the page brings something surprising, strange or head-scratching.
"The Twits" is no exception. Dahl start us off with two utterly dislikeable main characters who play mean tricks on each other and are cruel to animals. Should we laugh - or be disgusted? Sometimes it's hard to know. The second half of the book involves an elaborate over-the-top plot by the animals to get revenge on the Twits.
It's a crazy and strange book - and a lot of fun.
Book Review: Great Story!
Summary: 5 Stars
My 5- and 7-year-old boys LOVED this story! Lots of great mischief. I never knew Roald Dahl beyond "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," and "James and the Giant Peach." "The Twits" is great for younger audiences. I can't wait to get more of his books.Book Review: Hilarious! (a student's review)
Summary: 5 Stars
The Twits is a very funny book. It's about a wife and a husband who are really mean. But I can't say more because the rest is a spoiler. It was really, really, really funny.Book Review: Hilarious!!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
The book is very funny, with two very nasty people getting their just desserts at the hands of some mischievous monkeys. Really entertaining!!!!!!!Book Review: Horrible Book For Children
Summary: 1 Stars
No wounder why we have so many shallow people in this world, and bullies in schools. They were probably reading garbage like this. This book tells kids that ugly people are all mean, and beautiful people look like that because they are nice which is far from the truth. There is to much violence that it is on the verge of sadism. Whatever happened to books that inspire kids to forgive people who do them wrong. I'm glad I didn't read this book in my school, but I'm upset my child read this garbage. Something is definetly not right with the school system, and Mr Dahl if this is your idea of a childrens book. I can't believe that parents would even think this book is great. All I can do now is explain to my kid why this book is total, and complete garbage.
