Book Review - The BFG by Roald Dahl

Genre: Children's Fiction

Review: Since Disney's The BFG was released earlier this month, I thought it only fair I review the book it's based off. I have always loved this book. I believe I first heard it as a read aloud in first grade.

Sophie peers out of her window one night and spots a giant at her neighbor's. He sees her, grabs her, and runs off with her into the night. Lucky for her, this giant calls himself The BFG (The Big, Friendly Giant). Together, they come up with a plan to stop the other nine giants from eating the children of the world. Will it work?

My children and I adore this book!! All of Roald Dahl's books are just amazing. Every single one of them have been fabulous and have my kids hooked from the beginning. This was adorable and not a disappointment. I loved how the giant spoke with all his made up words. It was just TONS of fun!! I definitely recommend this book for everyone before seeing the movie (I haven't actually seen the Disney movie yet, I just always recommend books before movies).

Author: Roald Dahl was born in 1916 and died in 1990. He's British and it's very obvious in his writing (I love it!). He became popular in the 1940s from both his children's and adult books. He is most commonly known for James and the Giant Peach, Matilda, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. In his career he wrote over 60 short stories.

Of course, I cannot forget to add the trailer to the new movie! I cannot wait to see it. Have you seen it yet? What did you think? Was it like the book?

Now, after all that, you know you want to buy it. Click HERE to pick it up from Amazon.
