Library's review

A very entertaining story crafted by combining all of Roald Dahl's "Revolting Rhymes" fairy tales (excluding only the odd-one-out Goldilocks retelling) and adding a single frame story around them. My sole complaint is that some of the better rhythms, rhymes and jokes are undermined by the demands

of the narrative format, but that is understandable.
