Matilda

Book Review

“Matilda” by Roald Dahl is a brilliant example of children's literature that combines wit, imagination, and profound moral lessons. Critics note that Dahl masterfully creates characters that linger in the memory. Matilda, the main character, impresses with her intellectual maturity and kindness despite difficult family circumstances. The book also raises important themes such as the importance of education, the power of intellect, and justice. Antagonists like Miss Trunchbull are depicted with such grotesque cruelty that it evokes strong emotions and sympathy for Matilda and her friends. Overall, “Matilda” is considered one of Dahl's best works, continuing to inspire and delight both children and adults.
