James and the Giant Peach

" I know what your thinking. Your thinking why a giant peach. Well so was I but now it is almost my favorite book. So you should read it because Ronald Dahl is a great author."

What better way to travel across the country than in a juicy succulant peach? So much better than say " James and the giant Zuccinni"

I loved that book. One of Roald Dahls greatest. Loved Matilda too.

The book was okay but my favorites of Roald Dahl are "The Witches" and "Matilda"

My favourite book as a child, and the movie is absolutely brilliant in it's own way.

The movie scares me. It's okay but it's at the very, very bottom of my favorite movies

I LOVED the book AND the movie! They were great!

I enjoyed both the movie and the book. I think you have to take each one as a separate entity since the movie adaptions of books are always different from what was actually written. There is never really any comaprison between the two.

Roald Dahl was and is such an amazing author. James and the Giant Peach is a testament to his genius in writing books. Truly he is one of the greatest childrens authors of all time, and shall always be remembered.

I have always loved Roald Dahl. So I loved this book . Then when the movie came out it ruined the whole thing.

My 6 year old daughter and I are on a Roald Dahl reading spree. We read James and the Giant Peach, just finished The BFG, and are now on to Matilda. We rented James and the Giant Peach and had to turn it off because it was TERRIBLE!!! The book was way better and the movie did not do it justice. Completely disappointed, but the book is always better :)

I have to say that I loved the film, Joanna Lumley as one of James' aunts was a stroke of genius. The book is 1 of the first Dahl's I read as a child and its a fantastic story. Full of magic, travel and a young boy making friends with insects, talk about allowing the child reading to use their imagination to the full and coming up with their own vision as to what the look of the story would be. Love, love, love this book.x
