I was not introduced to this book growing up and I'm sad I wasn't. Its such a classic and i thoroughly enjoyed reading it in book club with a few students. :)

Es un ade las películas que más he visto, pero nunca había leído el libro.
La historia es genial y aunque algunas partes no estuvieron consideradas en la película hubo otras que fueron agregadas a ésta y que no aparecen en el libro. Ambas me gustan mucho.
Lo que más disfruté de la lectura de esta historia que me encanta fue que se listan muchas de las lecturas que Matilda hizo y que su muestra de genialidad en la escuela fue más detallada.

"The whole object of life, Headmistress, is to go forwards."
It's really sad that I didn't get to read the book when I was younger.I saw the movie(and it remains one of my favourite movies ever).I think Matilda is one of the books that you reread all the time and never get bored of.Finishing it was so hard.Now my heart feels kind of empty.

"Matilda applies her untapped mental powers to rid the school of the evil, child-hating headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, and restore her nice teacher, Miss Honey, to financial security." (From Amazon)
One of my favourite Dahl novels. I love Matilda and her mental powers against those adults who are ogres.
