| The BFG / Roald Dahl : 4 of 5 | |

 Another truly fantastic Roald Dahl story - I started this one during my Japan trip also. The plot is full of the usual Dahl creepiness, since it involves evil giants who travel to different parts of the world every night to gobble up "human beans". Thankfully, the BFG (Big Friendly Giant) is against eating people, and makes friends with Sophie (who spots him one night blowing dreams into the window of a sleeping child). There are some fantastic lines, since the BFG always says things the wrong way, and all of the explanation about how the BFG captures dreams in jars and brings them to children is incredible. Of course, there's a wonderful ending, and a child is shown to be a true hero, since Sophie concocts the plot that saves the day.Labels: books |
