The Twits by Roald Dahl

3.0

“If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until it gets so ugly you can hardly bear to look at it.”
TW: Toxic relationships; Marital abuse; Animal abuse
The Twits are awful people, and the monkeys they've held captive for years finally get their revenge. It’s funny, it’s stupid, it’s great… for a certain age range. It’s for children. While it is a funny, stupid, silly story, it has a lot of crude humor, negative statements about beauty, and talks about toxic relationships, marital abuse, and animal abuse. For a book targeted to children and written at a level for young children, it shouldn't be that heavy/dark. The book is written at a much younger reading level but because of the points I made previously I don't think anyone that young should be reading it.
