Review of 'Boy' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Roald Dahl is a great narrator, and so, even the most trivial anecdotes about his childhood are fun to read. It is not a great book as a whole simply because it consists of a bunch on loosely connected stories he remembers, but getting to know these details of his life and his family really put a perspective on who he is a s a writer and a human.
Worth reading, but not life changing.
