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

 ðŸ”´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...
