Rating: 3.5 of 5 Stars
Genre: YA Fiction
Pages: 142

I gave this a half star bump up from my previous read mainly because this time I knew going in that this wasn’t his usual childrens funny stories. It had humorous elements but there were a couple of times that things were just a bit darker than I’d want to introduce to children. Mid to late teens in my opinion would be a good target for these stories.
Nothing here made me change my mind about not re-reading Dahl’s stuff in the future though. I’m glad to have re-read this but I think I’m all set now.

Yeah, flipping time change and flipping WP and their flipping “scheduling”. I thought I was correcting for the time change when I was scheduling, but apparently I wasn’t. So sometime later this month everything should go back to it’s normal time. I’m not going to mess with things now, I’ve seen too many things go wrong when you try to change the scheduled time of a post….

The only story I remember from this collection is ‘A Piece of Cake’ – which may have been the first thing Dahl wrote?

Dahl writing a bit more darker material? I’m very much intrigued now.
