Roald Dahl,Quentin Blake, Boy: Tales of Childhood

really cool book of his life, at boarding school , i wouldnt let my kids read this if i was about to send them off! but is a great read for kids perhaps 8 years + and adults, it was a light read with the odd ink picture though it, i wished it was longer!

Boy is a funny, yet serious autobiography ideal for 10+. It tells of the great mouse plot, cruel teachers and Mr Corkers, an eccentric maths teacher who says that if you take a tissue which is 100th of an inch and fold it 100 times it will be thick enough to reach the sun. Generally uplifting, but with brief references to death. May upset younger readers with graphic descriptions of canings, which may upset young children, but still a fab read.

an amazing book if you hate books this would change your mind

Boy: Tales of Childhood is a good book and I am amazed at how good Roald Dahl's memory is. The way that Roald Dahl describes characters and scenes is also very good.

Boy: Tales of Childhood was a good book and the book was quick and easy to read because it had short chapters and he must of had a wonderful experience. i enjoyed the candy shop part the best because it was a good plan with the rat.

i didnt get bored with it

It was a good book it was very intereting and funny.

I liked hearing what happend 80 years ago.

He told it in great detail

By the sounds of it he had great life.

Roald Dahl uses many descriptive (and some times funny) words to describe people, places and emotions that he feels she goes through an exciting and sometimes cruel childhood.

Boy: Tales of Childhood can be quite a boring and annoying book for people that don't enjoy semi-autobiographys.

I enjoyed this book because of the interesting way it describes the way Roald Dahl grew up without making the read tedious and boring.

Overall it is a very descriptive and interesting read.
