I really liked it! It's such a cute story, and even though it's one of the Roald Dahl books I never read as kid, I'm glad I finally got to read it. I remember liking some of his other books, and it's such an imaginative one. I will say that some of the gifts described at the end of the book were stereotypical, and that bothered me. And for some reason, the book didn't seem as magical as the movie did, which makes me hesitant to re-read some of Dahl's other books, because I feel like the magic and creativity of his books might not have the same effect on me as an adult as they did when I was a kid. It makes me wonder if maybe I'm too old for Roald Dahl, which makes me a little sad, because generally, I don't think you're too old to read anything. But in this case? Maybe it's possible. I'd still recommend it as a book, because I really like the overall creativity and the conversation that the BFG has with Sophie about how giants don't kill each other, and how kind the BFG is to Sophie.

My Rating: 4 stars. I really like the story, but it wasn't as magical as I thought it would be.
