Book Review: The Twits by Roald Dahl


While ascending to the top of my bookshelf,I found this book sleeping under a layer of thousand dust particles & adultish ignorance,so I thought I should read it again to relive my childlike thoughts.❤

Roald Dahl's ferocious antipathy against the hairy faces is witnessed at the beginning of the book. Maybe that's why,he never grew one! (HAHA!) The author introduces us to Mr. Twit and Mrs.Twit.

Mr.Twit was a man of sixty and he had this big beard,probably to let people consider him to be a "wise and grand" man.

The author didn't fail to expound why he hated beards in the first place. And Blake's illustrations will definitely make it easy to make you feel the same .

.

Mrs. Twit bears ugly thoughts and she was no way better than Mr.Twit. Probably,that's why they're married!(😬).

Could you just imagine that Mrs. Twit actually mixed the worms with the spaghetti on her husband's plate.(HAHA!I KNOW EVERYTIME YOU EAT SPAGHETTI FROM NOW,YOU'LL CURSE HER.)

Bury yourself in this book to know what a terrible idea Mr.Twit plotted against her!

Roald Dahl remarkably proceeds to deposit the next plot in the minds of the readers.Playing mean jokes on each other is nothing to them,when they love catching birds and enjoy having Bird Pie for supper on Wednesdays.This is not the end.They made sure that their caged monkeys do everything upside down. And now,the monkeys and the birds wanted to escape,after taking an eye for an eye.

Roald Dahl hints at teamwork. When people work together towards a same goal,they are bound to succeed.

PERSONAL OPINION: I highly recommend you to read the book to witness how they wreak vengeance on Mr. and Mrs. Twit. Will they succeed in doing so?
It is a quick,easy and pleasant read. I'd give this a five out of five star rating(🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟),'cause I found no shortcomings in this book.

I'm sure the little kid in you will end up loving this light-read!❤️

Book Review: Decisions of Heart by Saurabh Pant

 🔴DECISIONS OF HEART🔴 RATINGS:⭐⭐⭐⭐💫(4.5/5) Love demands no barriers. It absolutely has no boundaries. There is no horizon. The thin line of the idea of love forms a slight barrier to the real essence of love. The book is a beautiful work that lets you feel. You may end up breathing the thin air of love and see yourself standing amidst the forest of love. The book lets you reminisce those memories,when you were surrounded with the feeling of love. The poems talk about how everything made no sense when we poured our hearts out infront of our loved ones. Even silence spoke. And it screamed. It said that "Yes,we're in love." And now, it's just a memory of cold, wintry nights on summer days. The thread of love was strong enough to hide those little secrets we shared once. The beauty of each poem lies in the days that glowed once. With the passage of time, it faded. Gradually. But the love continues climbing onto each mountain we see. The poems lets you re-visit those da...

Book Review: Impulses Laid Bare by Alexia

  IMPULSES LAID BARE We are a montage of memories-- memories that we so artistically camouflage in order to fit in. Our ability to perceive things as they are and the living power to re-imagine to conform to the superficialities are diametrically opposites. The poet prompts us to step right out, to have a day for ourselves and walk along the pavement amidst the "half-woken faces" --- faces drooping in the unfathomable depths of inexpressible emotions. The other half is as obscure as our concealed selves are, but the esoteric knowledge of it is only understood by those who have gone through such failed attempts to "keep the surface pristine" . And as a result, the "concealed cracks" seem to ooze into our reality and all we end up is a blurred perception of our real selves: the shadowlines of loneliness and isolation are now darker than ever before.  The circular nature of loneliness binds us in and claws onto our walls, and its jaws has carnivorous teeth....

Book Review- The Hidden Gems by Aman Talwar

 The Hidden Gems It's funny how the more we plunge into the "fast paced life", the more we let ourselves lose amidst the constant need of outdoing one's own self. The urge to impose a fixation upon ourselves, almost in every spheres of life and incorporate certain changes may "smoothen the journey" for a while, but the process is seductive. The more we attempt to "carve an identity", the more we let go of the one that we already have.  The book "The Hidden Gems" is a rare gem that one must read. It helped me come across ideas and gave an opportunity to not just accept, but also brainstorm and create new ideologies. It asks us to bring "subtle differences...to evolve as an individual". It also touches upon the psyche of an individual and the fact that our mind is cluttered with unwanted worries originates solely from the art of scrutinizing ourselves, causing the splitting of the self as a consequence of acute self-consciousness...
