And I don’t even know what it’s all about since the synopsis is really vague. So you can say that I went into it blindly and without any expectations.

Book Review: The Twits

Did I ever mention that Roald Dahl had been a favorite author of mine ever since Matilda? If not, then I am telling you now that I am. For the past couple of months, I’ve already published reviews about the two books written by him, The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and The Witches. Today, I am back with another book of Roald Dahl which is The Twits which have made a straightforward impression on me as a growing individual. Why? Read on, pals! The Twits is a humorous story of a vindictive and dysfunctional couple, Mr. and Mrs. Twit.…
