Second read completed. My daughter has become obsessed with this since starting watching the TV series so I ended up having to read this book again to her.

It is a fantastic gloomy story, I love how the narrator is constantly interacting with the reader. Also the characters are so vivid it becomes very easy to give them voices, something that Roald Dahl was always good at doing.

I've only got copies of the first two books which have both been read, hopefully this time we'll be able keep up the momentum and see where the story goes.
