I shall look on my shelves to see if I have it and if not I'll head down to the library, thanks so much :) <br /><br />Andi - I've never read George's Marvellous Medicine! And I love the idea of reading Matilda's books! :) <br /><br />Vivienne - Oh I really could as well, such a brilliant story.<br /><br />Melissa - I really do want to pick up Going Solo at some point. I was a bit sad that I hadn't read Boy when I was younger as I would have really loved that. But I'm looking forward to it. Also, BFG = love.<br /><br />Julianne - Revolting Rhymes? I don't think I've read it :) But I do love the quote you included!<br /><br />Raimy - I made N buy me a Roald Dahl bookset awhile back because I couldn't bear the idea of a home without Roald Dahl books!!Michelle Fluttering Butterflieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08793681725475475156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21582709.post-12587270964772917912011-11-16T19:36:18.988+00:002011-11-16T19:36:18.988+00:00Brilliant post!

If you liked Boy, you should read Going Solo, which is about the next stage in his life.Melissa (Avid Reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02119628715475021774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21582709.post-59313661208696015712011-11-16T17:23:51.627+00:002011-11-16T17:23:51.627+00:00Charlie and The Chocolate Factory and Matilda are ...Charlie and The Chocolate Factory and Matilda are my favourite ones of all.
