The BFG is about a giant. The 12 foot tall BFG (The Big Friendly Giant) catches Sophie (a little girl in a horrible orphanage) watching him blow dreams into childrens’s houses in England with his huge “trombone” thing. Since the BFG didn’t want his species (giants) to be killed, he takes Sophie to Giant Country, and hides her from these 9 man eating giants in his cave/house. Sophie tries to convince the BFG to help her mix-up dreams to make it so that people will help stop the 9 man eating giants stop eating humans, but also making it so The BFG doesn’t die at the same time!
I really enjoyed The BFG. I would recommend the book to kids 8-19 years old because of the text. For example, the BFG says stuff in not the right way or order. Like instead of human beings, he says human beans, and kids younger than 8, would not understand it. I would rate the book more than 5 stars if I could, but I can’t. I’ll just rate it 5 stars.
I like the review but I would disagree; I think kids under 8 would understand it just fine. I think kids under 5-6 would not under stand it.
I agree with you Elijah. I read this in first grade!
Same Freddie. Also I don’t like Roald Dahl any more.
Wyatt,
Just curious – why don’t you like Roald Dahl anymore?
Freddie,
Sometimes I have found that when I read a book at one age and then come back to it at another age that I understand and appreciate it on a different level. That still happens to me even as an adult!
I love this book Marlo. So so much. I’m just curious why you think someone who is 20 wouldn’t like it.
Well written and fun review!
Well, I’m not saying they wouldn’t, but they might not appreciate it as much.
Nice choice of book!
This book review is great.
