Book review- "The Magic Finger" by Roald Dahl

Book review



The name of the book I am writing about is called The Magic Finger written by Roald Dahl and illustrated by Quentin Blake.

William, Phillip and their dad use guns to kill the geese everyday. Their neighbor, the girl has a Magic Finger. She is so angry because she thinks that it is bad for men to hunt for a sport so she applies the Magic Finger on the Gregg family. When the Gregg family wakes up the next day, they realize that they have turned into geese and they have feathers instead of hands! Will they be able too get back to normal or not? Read the book to find out!

This book is suitable for ages 7 to 10. This book is a must-read because this book is very interesting and hilarious. The funniest part is when the boys get turned into geese. You should also check out the other Roald Dahl books. 

 I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.

    I like Roald Dahl's books. This one does seem to have a strong message, and seems like an interesting read.

DAY 1 We had to reach school at 6 am in the morning. We left from school at 7. The ride was quite smooth. We did immigration at Tuas checkpoint. As soon as you do immigration you're in Johor. As Singapore is an island, it is separated from Malaysia. So, there  had to be a bridge connecting these both. On the bridge to enter Malaysia, there was heavy traffic. We had to wait for about 40 minutes to reach across in Malaysia. Later after doing a security baggage check in the Malaysian checkpoint, we had to board another bus.  After boarding into another bus, five minutes later, we went to a B&B which is a breakfast place and a shop. I  bought few items there. The items were very cheap there as compared to Singapore. But, I didn't buy any breakfast there. In Genting we we...
