This autobiography of Roald Dahl is
a wonderful book about which I heard many a time but never got the chance to
read. It describes Mr. Dahl’s life {He is one of my Favorite authors, second
only to Rick Riordan} from birth to the age of 19. His father, Harold Dahl had,
due to an unfortunate accident, only 1 arm. The loss of an arm did not stop him
from becoming very successful in life. The rest of the book follows the path of
Roald Dahl as he is born, up to the time when he graduates and gets his first
job.
This book portrays life in a
boarding school to me, since I have never been in one myself. It is incredibly
written, sprinkled with hilarious anecdotes of his life at school.
recommend this book to children of ages 9+.
THE HOWLER RATING: ★★★★☆
