The Twits

Ollie and I are continuing reading Roald Dahl books and just finished The Twits. The book description says, "Mr. and Mrs. Twit are the smelliest, nastiest, ugliest people in the world. They hate everything—except playing mean jokes on each other, catching unsuspecting birds to put in their bird pies, and making their caged monkeys, the Muggle-Wumps, stand on their heads all day. But the Muggle-Wumps have had enough. With the help of Roly-Poly Bird, they set out to get some well-deserved revenge."

This was one of the Roald Dahl books I enjoyed slightly less. It was just weird with Mr. and Mrs. Twit repeatedly doing mean things to each other, so there wasn't much to enjoy in that. Ollie did enjoy the story and often wanted to read more, and he correctly predicted how the animals got revenge on the Twits, which was fun. Quentin Blake's illustrations are always super well done and add a lot to the story.

Rating: * (1/3 = It was okay)
