Title: Roald Dahls best.
Review: The greatest childrens writer of the century. Matilda is simply the most wonderful Cinderella story told in a modern setting. Only we replace a prince with a mother figure, and a Castle with a schoolyard. Both Matilda and her teacher need each other. Both struggle through the same problems in life. Both have overbearing relations who Dahl characterises with fantastic story writing. Using his wit and humour he pulls us though a captivating tale of realising our entitlement in life. One finishes the book quickly and satisfied that Dahl has again told another meaningful yet childlike story of life. Five stars.
