    <body><![CDATA[Roald Dahl's short stories for adults are amazing, terrifying, creepy, disturbing, sexy, disgusting, morally bankrupt, and well-written.

    <body><![CDATA[I am a huge fan of Roald Dahl, but this book was a disappointment. I started reading a few pages, but I just had to drop the book after the fourth page because it was so boring.

    <body><![CDATA[I don't know how to review this book.  Clearly, if you are expecting a children's fantasy, you are in for a surprise.  Maybe a teenage boy's fantasy, but hopefully that's as young as you go.  <br/><br/>It's not smut, but it harkens to smut, Playboy, and maybe a taste of 70's era sexual revolution ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/29236743">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The thing most people don't know about Roald Dahl is that he was a hateful person. He hated everyone; like he was a sexist, racist, misogynist anti-semite and liked it that way. And since people usually think of him as a children's book author, he resented that (as he hated children) and published S...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1912106">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I'd heard he had &quot;adult&quot; stories. These were interesting, and had some of the same fascination with elaborate practical jokes and mystical mysteries as the children's stories. Less whimsy, perhaps? Memory grows faint. I remember a deadly carpet.]]></body>
