Young Writers Society

My youngest sister read The Witches for the first time last week and loved it. And since it was out, I started reading it again. Now I remember why it scared me so much.

But it's good stuff anyway.

Yeah TheWitches is another good stuff of Roald Dahl.

When I was 12 I read the book Matilda by Roald Dahl and loved it.Since then I am very fond of him.

I started this topic a long time ago before yws was closed,and I thought people in yws is not much fond of him.Until some time ago I noticed this topic to be back again.

Hey Nate its a very true thing about R.D.
His work of fiction rocks.

Hey Nate what about my question?

I, personally, love his darker adult short stories.

really?

Then again, his children stories are brilliant to.

Yes, I enjoy his adult works, especially My Uncle Oswald.

thats great he is world famous!

If I were to pick my favorite children's novel by Dahl, I would most likely have to pick between The Witches and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

As for his adult works, I would choose Switch Bitch.

I never read this or any other of his adult works.

His adult works are very dark, a lot darker than his children work.

Three words:
best. children's. writer.
I have never read a children's book that has such a good combo of wittiness, flow, and plots than Roahld Dahl. Also, I think he wins for hardest name to spell...
