Book Reviews of The BFG

Book Review: Alyssa from Lake Tapps says,"Very cute!"
Summary: 4 Stars

Imagine what it would feel like being kidnapped by a giant and never being able to go back home ever again. Well that's what happened to Sophie when she spots a giant through her window in the book the BFG by Roald Dahl. It's a book filled with adventure between Sophie and the giant.
In the book the giant takes Sophie to the giant country. When Sophie found out that the giant isn't that bad of a guy Sophie and the giant got to be good friends. He takes her dream catching and shows her snozzcumbers and frobscottle but when they find out that the bloodbottler giants are going to England to gobble up some people for dinner they have to spring in to action and save the day.
My favorite part of the book is when the giant shows Sophe snozzcumbers. I thought that part was funny because the giant takes a bite of the snozzcumber and spits it everywhere.
The most important thing I learned from this book is don't judge a person by what they look like. Also known as don't judge a book by its cover.
Other books by this author are James and the giant peach, Charlie and the chocolate factory, and fantastic mr. fox.
I recommend this book because it's full of adventure and fun. This is a book revolved around friendship so you should check it out at your library soon because your missing out big time on a great book.

Summary of The BFG

Luckily for Sophie, the BFG is nothing like his neighbors, whose favorite pastime is guzzling little children.

Evidently not even Roald Dahl could resist the acronym craze of the early eighties. BFG? Bellowing ferret-faced golfer? Backstabbing fairy godmother? Oh, oh ... Big Friendly Giant! This BFG doesn't seem all that F at first as he creeps down a London street, snatches little Sophie out of her bed, and bounds away with her to giant land. And he's not really all that B when compared with his evil, carnivorous brethren, who bully him for being such an oddball runt. After all, he eats only disgusting snozzcumbers, and while the other Gs are snacking on little boys and girls, he's blowing happy dreams in through their windows. What kind of way is that for a G to behave?

The BFG is one of Dahl's most lovable character creations. Whether galloping off with Sophie nestled into the soft skin of his ear to capture dreams as though they were exotic butterflies; speaking his delightful, jumbled, squib-fangled patois; or whizzpopping for the Queen, he leaves an indelible impression of bigheartedness. (Ages 9 to 12)
