When I was at university studying playwork, I carried out a survey of books read by children aged 7-14. The favourites by a long way were Roald Dahl books. Although this survey was quite small (25 children) it does appear to be quite representative of children's reading habits. A 1990's survey of 4,000 children, conducted by The ...  Read the complete review

Roald Dahl books , are usual humerous and well written! Often they are based round a child as one of the main charaters .

Roald Dahl books are very creatively written , they are written well and capture your attention from the moment you open the ...  Read the complete review

My favourite Roald Dahl book was The BFG and I still love it to this day. To me, Dahl took you away from boring normal life and showed you what kind of fun you could have. I first came across Roald Dahl when I was seven when my teacher read the class The Enormous Crocodile. I thought it was one of the coolest books ever and managed to get ...  Read the complete review

I never really used to read a lot as a child but when I read a Roald Dahl book I could never put it down and had to finish it within the week. My parents told me off many times for staying up late reading his books. I found that he had a wild imagination and I think it helped to develop my imagination more and make me more creative. I would ...  Read the complete review

Roald Dahl... a literary genius. Another fine example of someone who is as appealing to adults as they are to children. Dahl was born in Llandaff in Wales in 1916 to Norwegian parents. Tragically aged 3, his father Harald and sister Astri died leaving his mother to bring six children up alone, Roald being the only boy. As a young ...  Read the complete review

Roald Dahl, what a genius.... and his books are one of the things I remember most about childhood! I have read a great many books, as a child and as a grown-up.

Roald wrote some of the best childrens books that have been. Many of his works have been used in the classroom because he writes with passion and morals, unlike many modern writers who tend to leave morals in the wings. Well I would like to see many more plays adapted from his books, espcially as school and community projects. If only there were ...  Read the complete review

I used to hate reading, and I still do if I'm honest! But Roald Dahl books are the only books I've really read and enjoyed! The books I love and still read every now and then are, Matilda, in which a little girl is really clever and her parents are horrid to her! she plays pranks on them as well as other things, she sticks her ...  Read the complete review

Everyone reads Roald Dahl books when they’re a kid. Even now I still love to get hold of a copy of the Twits or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory now and then. A lot of people I know though seem to think that Dahl was exclusively a children’s author. He was also though a prolific writer of short stories – many of which were ...  Read the complete review
