Review title: Dahl was coasting when he wrote this
Product review: The publishers must have demanded a sequel, so this is what Dahl came up with. Slow, repetitious, and not very imaginative.The glass elevator goes up-up-up. So what will come next? It will go down-down-down. The grandparents take pills in order to get very, very young. What will happen next? They take pills to get very, very old, of course. But not without alot of repetitive dialog to make the whole story last longer. Ugh.We both loved some of Dahl's other novels for their creativity and heart (for example, The BFG), but this one feels almost like it was written by someone else. Maybe kids will like reading this book to themselves, but reading it aloud to my daughter was a chore.
