My daughter, Colette, would like to say the following: Matilda in my opinion is the most interesting book in the world. If you are not sure if you want to read Matilda, then I assure you that you should. It is action-packed and funny. It gives a feeling in me that makes me want to be just like Matilda, who is a five year old genius, who is a little bit like a prankster. I give this review five stars because of all that.
