My loved book..."Matilda"


Previously, I have to confess I have never read a book, a magazine or some text in english, but I can recommend you a very funny book you can found in english, if you want to read it someday. =)

"Matilda" is the funniest book I've ever read. I read it when I was a little girl, in my summer holidays.
It`s about a girl called Matilda Wormwood, who loves reading a lot of books, but her parents don`t allow her to read them, because they force her to watch stupids TV programs. Her father was an expert swindler in the used car business. Her mother seems to be an understanding mother, but she is a superficial woman like her husband. She also has a brother who is always in front of the TV, eating fried food.
As you can see, Matilda is a misunderstood girl, but she survives to these problems, reading in many libraries and developing her mind powers, yes she has powers!. She can move things without touching them, with her mind.
With these powers Matilda has a lot of funny moments in her school, where she has to cope with her partners and with her evil headmistress...Miss Trunchbull =S
But in the school she also meets her beloved teacher, Mrs. Honey who takes care of Matilda like if she was her daughter.
So, If you read "Matilda" I´m sure you will have a lot of funny moments...=)

Melanie,

Matilda is a great book! It was the first ¨big¨ book I read, and it made me love reading. I´m glad you enjoyed it. Have you seen the movie? What do you think of it?
