The jump Rachel made from young adult to adult was both courageous and rewarding. Her depiction of her well rounded characters really drew you in and made you want more. She subtlety showed comparisons about what segregation was like and what is to be the minority, stripped of all rights and to be thought of as less than human. She does this in a very clever way and really shows the struggles of these character. Her heroine is their saviour, fighting all the atrocities that are happening and advocating for them. She is such a strong willed person and not easily broken. She does not rely on someone saving her....she'll save herself!! Well done Rachel, Loved this book and cannot wait for another :)

Roald Dahl is one of my favorite authors. His childrens books formed my childhood, and his raunchy adult writing is completely entertaining.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was one of my favorites growing up. It's got some of the best insults I've ever read in a childrens book. I also love the illustrations by Quentin Blake.

If you're like me and enjoy a bit of adult humour, this show is for you. It has you laughing through every episode. Sometimes the plot is easy to follow, other times you get surprised with a plot twist. Dark humour, animation and a main character that's an alcoholic sociopath.

Great Concept
Very interesting and fun gameplay; however, was annoyed with the amount of children, and I do mean children that have access to this game. You can hear them talking during the game and cussing worse than sailors. Mom and Dad, please keep your kids away from ADULT themed video games!

It took me almost a year to read it the first time - definitely one of the longest and most difficult books I read as a kid. Reading as an adult it's once again difficult to get into but at least I understand more of it! Love it more this time around definitely.
