Wylie's Book Review

Wylie
(Age 13 years)

The BFG
by Roald Dahl

How easy it was to get stuck in the book?
Well, once you read the first page, you would not want to stop reading. The first page is about Sophie and the
witching hour. The witching hour is when all the humans are asleep and all the giants are allowed in the human countries but if a human is awake and sees them, the giant has to take the human who saw them back to the Giant Country.

Who are the characters?
The main characters are: Sophie (a little girl), the BFG (Big Friendly Giant), the Bloodbottler (a big mean giant) and the Fleshlumpeater (the biggest! the meanest! of all giants). The Queen is also in the story.

What's the story line?
Well, the story is about Sophie who lives at an orphanage. One night she cannot sleep because the moon is shining on her eyes. When she gets up to shut the curtains she sees a giant and the giant sees her. It is the witching hour. Sophie then runs to her bed and hides under her blankets. The giant puts his big giant hand through the window and snatches her from her bed and runs all the way to his cave as fast as he can.

How's it written?
It has lots of describing words and it puts you in the characters' shoes. It's a really imaginative story.

Other books by the same author that I know about?
None.

The overall verdict is...
I give the book 4 out of 5. The story is really interesting at the beginning, but it is boring in some parts.
