This story is a wonderful mix of romance and humour. Roald Dahl, was a creative writer with wild and unusual ideas, making this book entertaining for many different audiences. It amuses the reader with made up words and crazy spells, like ' WORG PU, FFUP PU, TOOHS PU,' that makes it unique and makes the reader laugh out loud. At times, Quentin Blake's illustrations and Roald Dahl's text cleverly work together, with the text becoming part of the picture, making the story more engaging for the reader.
This unique, intelligent piece of literature is flawless and will make the audience laugh, especially children aged nine years and up. Even teenagers and adults will love this creative and exciting love story. Sadly, this book was published in the same year as Roald Dahl passed away, making this one of his last books.
