I like to think of Matilda as Carrie in her formative years before she went on her murderous rampage; she was just testing her weapons. So be warned: if you mess with the wrong girl, you might be dealing with a telekinetic psycho. ( )

Tender, brutal, fun and warm. A story about a little girl surviving among toxic people. The headmistress at her school reminded me of a terrible coworker that i struggled with. I guess i'm not a little girl and i should know better how to stand strong against toxicity but it turns out to be quite a challenge even for an adult. Now that i've read Matilda i'm ready. Bring it on! ( )

I really hate that this book wasn't yet written when I was a child. I loved everything about it! The character of Matilda is absolutely wonderful; I can't imagine any way in which she could have been improved upon. Her parents and Miss Trunchbull are absolute nightmares (and also perfect). And Miss Honey is that person we all wish we had in our corner. Great humor, a plot that is unexpected at times and a perfect ending ... what more could you ask for? ( )

Matilda Review

This is a great book for kids which I enjoyed. I also like the idea of Miss Trunchbull getting punished for what he did to the children of the school. The ending was nice as Matilda lived happily with Miss Honey! 4 and a half/5 stars ( )
