impression
This is the best Dahl's story I've ever read. Although I have only read a few of his books.
The father is really nice. He knows many interesting stories and tell them to his little son every night untill the boy fells asleep. They don't have money but it looks they lead the happiest lives in the world. After I finish to read this book I was moved deeply. Add to this, our writing teacher, Dennis also recomended this book. If there is someone who wants to read this book, go to salc and find it or ask me to lend it!:)
