This is the first book on our list that I am not excited about reading. I read the book when I was in elementary school and I have seen the movie. I did not like either. I always thought the movie was a little creepy, probably because of the bugs. While it is similar to The Phoenix and the Carpet as far as magical things happening ordinary children, this is the most unrealistic book to me. The idea of riding around in a giant, sticky fruit with a bunch of life size talking bugs is very unappealing to me.
I have a read a few other of Roald Dahl books including The BFG, The Witches, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and George's Marvelous Medicine. I liked all of those books. There is just something about this book that does not appeal to me. Maybe reading it again, I'll change my mind.
