Critic reviews

Roald Dahl reads Roald Dahl.

My four-year-old likes it.
I like it.
The timbre of Dahl's voice is exquisite.
His narrational skills are every bit the equal of his stories.
His stories belong to childhood.

Awesome Collection of Stories

Would you consider the audio edition of The Roald Dahl Audio Collection to be better than the print version?

People can decide for themselves if they prefer to listen to a book or read it themselves. This collection of stories is read by Mr. Dahl himself which is pretty cool..

What did you like best about this story?

All of the stories are great. Each "Chapter" is its own story, so you can choose between the longer stories which are well over an hour, and the shorter ones which are around 20 minutes..

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

The Stories are all classics - read by the Author himself.

thank you Roald dahl.

I love this book like Matilda, and The twits, the minnpinns, and the magic finger. So what I thought of the first story called"Charlie and the chocolate factory" because I am a big fan of chocloate and I feel bad for the boy name Charlie. While there were gold tickets which fascinated me when i was reading it. In"James and the giant peach" one thing that scared me werw the bugs because they looked sorta scary and yah but overall I loved it. 💗😁 Fantastic Mr. Fox inspired me and is my favorite book out of all of the books I read in this. The enormous crocodile, it was so interesting. The crocodile wanted food but never gets is because a elephant,hippo, monkey, roly poly bird, and his crocodile friend. The magic finger was very interesting. I feel the same as the girl if I had neighbors like that because animal lives matter. what i hope is that you make more books like this. Also since there was a lot of books in this I will talk about the other books. I like when Matilda adds glue to the hat. I like the twits because it is the most funniest book i ever EVER read. I like the minpins because they were in dangered but Billy saved them and he gets told visit and they get to visit him:)

The Oompah Loompahs Rap 5/5

Having grown up with these stories as a child, it's nice to hear them again now as an adult.
Roald is consistent, but sometime lacking in expressiveness.
Great for winding down, or to fall asleep.

Nostalgia is a powerful thing
disclaimer; they dont Rap, but that would have been sick to hear Roald do that, haha.
