I still find Ronald Dahl's book very enjoyable. He is so unique.
He had such a way to connect with kids like in BFG, its a shame he died. I know he had a great life. He left us with Willy Wonka forever.
BFG was one of my favorite! James and the Giant peach was my son's favorite.
How old is your son? Is he able to read some of his books?
He is an adult now but when he was around 7 or 8 he loved Ronald Dahl books.
With Charlie and the Chocolate Factory series there are three more: The Great Glass Elevator and the pop up book?
I didn't care for the sequels too much. I thought Matilda was good. The movie was funny.
I didn't know he wrote Matilda. The story was amazing, the way he brought the characters to life.
Yes, he's way ahead of time before Harry Potter in my opinion. 
Man, if he could ever sit down with JK Rowlings. I would die to be a fly on the wall for that conversation.
Yeah, that would be something, isn't it? I don't know how their minds work, but I admire the work.
