THE BFG
By Roald Dahl
I was at home looking for books on my bookshelf when I saw The BFG by Roald Dahl and when I saw the cover I just felt like reading it right away. So when I started to read it at night I noticed that the author had a really good imagination. When I saw the first pictures by Quetin Blake I thought they were amazing.
The two main characters the BFG and Sophie are both really interesting. The BFG has really big ears and he is big and friendly and giant. Sophie is an orphan and has glasses and wears a nightgown all the time. She is a very nice. She is treated really badly.
I really like the part where the three men get drunk and fall into a hole where the nine giants eat them up. The basic parts are that the BFG takes Sophie out of her bed and brings her to giant land. The problem is that the nine giants are taking kids from their beds and eating them. Sophie and the BFG want to save them from being snatched from their beds and eaten up. Some giants say that children from different places has different flavors.
I think this is going be a book that will always be a favorite. I think people who like adventures should read this book!! Hope you liked it!!!! By Anton (a student in Msdu's class)
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)
