3.5 stars.
Questionable morals. The dark humour is enjoyable, though.

Eine typische Roald Dahl-Geschichte mit viel Witz erzählt. Während des Hörens des wirklich gut gemachten Hörbuches musste ich mich dennoch immer wieder daran erinnern, dass es eine Geschichte für Kinder ist und ich nicht zu sehr in die Perspektive der Erwachsenen falle.

Auf jeden Fall ein spannender Hörgenuss für Gross und Klein, da auch ich immer neugieriger wurde, wie Mister Fox sich nun aus der Misere befreit. Eine Wohlfühlgeschichte erster Klasse - typisch Dahl halt.

"GO AWAY!" shrieked Rat. "Go on, beat it! This is my private pitch!"

"Shut up," said Mr. Fox.

"I will not shut up!" shrieked Rat.

Started to read this with Kenner last night. She lasted about a chapter before she got distracted by the Barbie movie merch we got her. She's at camp right now so I finished it to pass the time. I feel bad for comparing this to the movie but man, Wes Anderson just got it right. So the book feels a little bland in comparison. A lot of the characters are better in the movie, especially Mr Fox, Mrs Fox, and Small Foxes (who got turned into Ash and Kristofferson). The villains stayed pretty much the same actually, but the conflict in the movie is much more complex because of how the other characters changed. The drawings are very charming though!

I loved it!
I think that Road Dalh is always a good idea even as adult.
