Matilda was good,very good because it had a very good story. The story is about a girl named Matilda who is a very good reader and goes to school. Mrs. Trunchball is the head mistress at her school. She is very mean to all the children. The end is really surprising. I can't tell you the ending or I would give it away.

Roald Dahl has written other books like The Enormous Crocodile, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, George's Marvelous Medicine, The Giraffe and the Pelly and Me, The Twits, The BFG, and the Magic Finger. I have read all of these books by Roald Dahl. My favorite is The Enormous Crocodile. Matilda is my second favorite.

As a teacher in a multi-lingual school, a copy of a book in ANY language other than English is like gold! Matilda is a great book for any child.
Most children today are avid movie goers. A book that "goes with" a movie has gotten my students reading, reading, reading! After viewing the video AND reading the book makes for a great compare and contrast lesson...putting the book in Spanish allows for me to expand that experience and the growth of my Spanish speaking learners!
I highly recommend this book to teachers working with non-English speaking students.

Matilda is a book about a girl named Matilda who is as smart as a 6th grader, but is in kindergarten. This book is very magical and, at times, funny, like when she uses a power she has to scare Ms.Trunchbull, the schools horrible headmaster. It is a very good book and I liked it a lot. Some other books the author wrote are good, but I think this one is the best. I would recommend this book to everybody. Put this one on your list!

The book Matilda, by Ronald Dahl, was an outstanding book that really knows how to get a readers attention. The author is writing from Matilda's point of view. Which focuses the readers attention on Matilda's family problems. The book shows how Matilda Woodworm, the born genious, finds out she has to learn how to survive on her own. The abnormal behavior in her family made it hard for Matilda to experience a normal childhood. The book shows her interaction with her abnormal brother, fanatic mother and cheapskate father, making it very entertaining and amusing. The comedy of this novel helps people of all ages realize that no matter what, every family has its problems. It all depends on the way you react to them and the way you deal with them. Matilda realizes by taking things into her own hands, it helps her deal with her problems better. I'd highly recommend this book to readers of all ages, because it's written by a great author, and can provide some reading enjoyment.

This book is about a young girl (Matilda) who is very intelligent. I personally enjoyed how Matilda always pulled pranks on her parents. I didn't enjoy how they made the " Trunchbull" so mean. I suggest this book to anyone who loves to laugh.

This book was exellent!Or should I say EXELLENT! Matilda would go through any trouble to help her teacher Miss Honey and to get revenge on her so-called-parents. Roald Dahl did an exellent job on this book! I read it twice!!! :)

Matilda, a little ordinary girl is full of surprises and secrets. She has two rawdy parents who will do anything to get rid of this child! As you follow Matilda, the genious' adventures, you will discover just how bright this little girl is. Buy it now for only $12.95!!!

BOOK REVIEW FOR MATILDA

I really liked the book Matilda because the author that wrote this book wrote lots and lots of details in the book that you could imagine the picture of what it would be like. Also I like this book because the girl in the story is very determined to study.

In this story, a little girl lives with two mean parents who are upsets with watching T.V including their son. But not Matilda! She wants to read and study. So when in the morning Matildas mom goes out to play bingo and her dad goes to his business with her brother going to school, Matilda goes to the library to read.

One day Matilda goes to school and meets a wonderful teacher. Miss Honey! But not only does Matilda meet a nice teacher, but also Matilda finds out something about her that no one else can do. Magic! Matilda uses her ability on her real enemy The Trunchbull.

Through reading this book, I have learned a valuable lesson. The father of Matilda loved to earn money so he cheated on the people, and his cars were cheap and would break down very fast. That was lying. I learned not to lie because Matildas father got in trouble and ran away. Another lesson I learned was to not give up! When Matilda meets the mean principle, Matilda didnt stop standing up for herself and did not give up.

Read this trilling story to walk through the adventures with Matilda! It will never get off your hands until you are finished reading this book. I loved this book and I think you will too!

Matilda is the enchanting tale of a five-year-old girl who has more brain power than any adult you'll come across. Matilda Wormwood started showing her spectacular skills at birth, but her parents(the naive little gits), did not take the slightest of notice. Soon enough, however, she is sent to Crunchem Hall, a horrid school whose Headmistress is the Towering Terror, The Trunchbull. She hates children, and will stop at nothing to make their lives miserable. She too fails to notice Matilda's extraordinary prowess. But, the Trunchbull does get her just desserts. Using her newly found telekinetic powers, Matilda gets revenge on all those who abused and neglected her. You can take my word for it, or read the book for yourself. The choice is yours.

All I can say to conclude this is that Roald Dahl's Matilda is definitely worth the time.
