Title: Impressive
Review: Although "Henry Sugar" isn't one of Roald Dahl's more popular books, in terms of quality it stands with "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" at the pinnacle of Dahl's work. One of the only criticisms I can make of Roald Dahl's novels is that they often tend to read like a collection of marginally related stories. (For example, "Matilda" was an excellent book but some entire chapters could be removed and the novel would have remained essentially the same.) Here, the book IS a collection of short stories, and so this flaw is irrelevant! Everything here is written with the touches that make Dahl's work so much fun: the flashes of mature wit among the whimsical storytelling. Absolutely essential for any fan of Roald Dahl.
