Bloody 'ell! I dunno what happened here. Roald Dahl, one of the most imaginative children's writers ever has lost the plot here. He had an idea of a story and it feels like he couldn't figure how to get the story out of his head. Esio Trot is very brief, it shows you how to manipulate a daft woman and it ends very flat.

My daughter and I found it dull and was glad when it was over and we could move onto something else.

If you are a Roald Dahl fan then avoid this one because you'll only be disappointed.
