I, mostly, remember the movie. It's always so very interesting when you've seen the movie first because it makes you wonder at the differences. There are moments that I waited for an event which was on the movie and it didn't even exist in the book. Not always disappointed as mostly they are really non-events. Most surprising, and I don't know why I'm surprised seeing that Roald Dahl isn't American (D'Oh!), was that it was set in England. I guess I just never really thought about that. I love it

I read this book for a book club challenge, I had never read any of Roald Dahl's books but my daughters loved them.
