I love everything about this story. Matilda the genius, her mean parents, her great tricks, kind miss honey, evil trunchbull, matilda's powers, everything. Also, you kept the characters alive in the narration. This is one of the most greatest narrations I've ever heard. Great job!👍

Great story and narrations!

A subversive and hilarious story, a lovable phenomenon of a girl, her teacher and awful parents and school mistress. Winslet is everyone with aplomb, wit and an incredible voice range: at the same time the cruel Miss Trunchbull and Hortensia, the clever trickster. I heard many parts three or four times. Lovely, lovely experience. Dahl would have been satisfied, I am sure.

Hail Queen Kate, the best reader ever!!!

It is a very good and fun and funny I like how the trench ball grabbed Rupert hair and then wanted around until he said 2 7 are 14.

Extremely funny book

Enjoy this if you’ve ever had a bully for a boss or if you can remember a terrifying teacher!

A wonderful read - not only for kids!

This is my first audio book. Even though I had read matilda and watched the movie many times, it is beautiful every time I read it. Also , the narration was done beautifully. Still, if I could change a few bits, some parts were read too softly. Other than that, it was perfect!(^o^)b
I highly recommend it.

Great first audio book!

We absolutely loved this audio book!!! Myself, my kids and even my husband got so carried away with the story on our long road trip, we couldn’t stop listening!
The way the story was narrated by Kate Winslet made it even more brilliant! I am sure it wouldn’t have been the same if someone else read the story.
It is a MUST listen! We were very sad when we finished the book.

Fantastic story and narration is excellent!!
