7+: The Twits - Roald Dahl

Release Date: 02/09/10

BOOK BLURB:

Mr and Mrs Twit are extremely nasty, so the Muggle-Wump monkeys and the Roly-Poly bird hatch an ingenious plan to give them just the ghastly surprise they deserve.

REVIEW:

This is another of my childhood favourites and one that clearly demonstrates that perhaps no other author has ever had such an insight into children’s minds as that of Roald Dahl. We all may not be the pretty ones or the smartest, but we all have something special about us and we shouldn’t judge others is the message within this title.

It’s a cracking story and one that has remained with many readers since their childhood and will remain with the next generation even longer. A real treat and one that will demand a reread time and again. Definitely something special and one that we really can’t recommend enough.

Our Reviewing System

Each title will in addition to having a review will be accompanied by a paw rating out of five. Obviously the more paws, the better the title.

Here's how it breaks down:

- This title is as good as it gets, a novel to set your standards by, you cannot afford to let this one slip by.

- Still a cracking novel, lots to be had from the tale and a great one to own.

- It's OK, its an acceptable tale but by no means is it going to set the world alight

- We're not huge fans, it might appeal to a select few but in our opinion has little to offer the genre or the reader.

- Leave this title well alone, we didn't like it in the slightest and felt that our reading time was completely wasted. Save your penny's for something better.
