Evaluation
Mr. Dahl is quite a peculiar writer. As a teacher and a student, I think his books sometimes require a particular taste for the books he produced in his time. However, out of all the books I have ever read of his, I truly loved this one. The friendship between the little girl and the giant was so sincere. I thought his play on words was quite fascinating and the discussions the two of them had together were raw and spectacular. For those who love an imagination and particularly for those who can actually wake up and remember (or not remember their dreams), I highly recommend this book.
