This book is highly fascinating and exciting, I would recommend this book for ages 9+ all ages would love this book and would never want to stop reading it. The story line is great but the only thing I would want to change about the book is the ending. The words were highly descriptive and gave a very clear image of what is going on and what everything looked like. It is mysterious, action packed and full of adventure Roald Dahl is a very successful author and has written a collection of books. I would recommend any of his books to ages 9+ and I azure you that any person who reads them will never regret it. Roald Dahl was born on the 13 of September in 1916 and past away on 23 November 1990. His current age when he passed away was 74.
