- A laugh-out-loud read
I got this book for my 7 year old daughter and, being familiar with other books by Roald Dahl, read it before giving it to her. I think I giggled through the entire book. When my daughter read it, she was literally rolling off the couch from laughing so hard. She loved the ending of the story, and talked about the book for days after she'd read it. She's the kind of kid who gets scared easily, and I was worried that the descriptions of the giants and the details of how they obtain their meals (ie human beans) would freak her out a bit, so I decided to read the story to her and wouldn't let her read it in bed at night. After two chapters she insisted on reading it to herself and loved every word. I'd recommend this book for anyone with a funny bone!

- The BFG
The book is about a littlte girl who's name is Sophie and how she gets captured by a big friendly giant otherwise known as the BFG. One night Sophie was looking out the window of the orphanage in London that she stayed in, and she saw an enormous figure that was way too big to be a person. She held in her breath as she watched it blow something into children's bedrooms and then walk away. After a few minutes the large figure was right across from her and it turned around and looked at her. Sophie tried to scream, but no sound came out of her mouth so she ran to her bed. The large figure simply picked her up and carried her off to a strange country that she new wasn't where she was from. Sophie and the large figure startd talking and she soon found out that the giant's name was BFG. They soon became friends and she learned that there were other giants that there were other giants and they decided to tell the queen about it. She soon had a team of army men tie them up and put them in a safe place in the zoo. The BFG and Sophie became very popular because they saved alot of people's lives from being eaten by those monstorous giants, that is except for the BFG who was a vegetatian until he tasted bacon and all of those other tasty things that he never heard of. The end.
