Critic reviews

"A true genius...Roald Dahl is my hero." (David Walliams)

All stars

What did you like most about Matilda?

I love every bit of the book. It's thoroughly entertaining and Kate Winslet was spectacular.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Matilda?

Several. I love Mrs Trunchball's encounter in class with smart Nigel 'unless-you-want my-middle-name' Hicks; the part where Lavender put the newt in her cup of water, and of course Matilda.

I think this is the best of Roald Dahl's books.

What about Kate Winslet’s performance did you like?

Everything, she made all the parts come to life.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laughed all the way through.

Any additional comments?

My children also loved it.

I really appreciate that there is a musical 🎶 as well as the actual book and audio book 📕
I don’t always understand what they are saying but otherwise I will listen to it as much as I can
I recommend it to anyone who is interested in
Roald Dahl or magic 🪄 I love this book but I can’t read it very often because everyone in the household is in LOVE with it so I think we should get lots of copies of the book so we can all read it
Love it😍

This put me to sleep and taught me some stuff at the same time. I would recommend this for three to twelve yr olds

I didn't want it to end. I love Matilda, I was bought up with it and fell in love with the film. I think Kate did a wonderful rendition of the story.

Thoroughly enjoyable

I adore this audio book. Matilda is such a special story anyway, so touching and charming, and I've read it many times. But Kate Winslet takes it to the next level with her voice talent. You get the feeling she really loves this story and its characters, especially the Miss Honey and Matilda. Her portrayal of The Trunchbull is quite hilarious at moments. Absolutely brilliant!

Just brilliant!
