1.5 stars.

This book is so weird, and some parts at the beginning probably shouldn't be read to children.

This is an another interesting Dahl's book, not that many twists though. It is a nice and lighthearted read. The characters in the book might be a little scary to childdren, but still it's a fairly good book.

This one is probably my favourite Roald Dahl's book - tied with [b: the Minpins|73800|The Minpins|Roald Dahl|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1389409515s/73800.jpg|71413].

I remember loving the adventures that James and his animal friends went on in that HUGE Giant Peach.

The Centipede's song:

'Now comes,' the Centipede declared, 'the burden of my speech:
These foods are rare beyond compare - some are right out of reach;
But there's no doubt I'd go without
A million plates of each
For one small mite,
One tiny bite,
Of this F A N T A S T I C PEACH!'
