Book Review: The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Six More

Henry Sugar is a Roald Dahl through and through. It was funny with outrageous characters but definitely an awesome book for the family. It may have a lot of pleasant exaggeration but the lessons it conveyed were certainly practical and heartwarming.

He had been evil and clueless and yet, he never backed down from making a difference in the lives of those poor children. I’ve learned a lot from Henry. On how he transformed from being immature to mature, from being self-centered to…

Book Review: The Witches

This is another feel good story by Roald Dahl, ridiculously crafted to provide a good laugh to young children and adults too. The Witches started off by providing a narration that one of the most pressing security problems in this world was the existence of Witches. And they were notorious for plotting of purging the world of children. There’s only one reason for this: Children produces foul stench.
