Roald Dahl's first children's book. James is such an adorable, clever, kind-hearted little boy with golden hair. I like the Cloud-Men part most, dislike the New York part most. In Roald's book Americans tend to make a fuss about anything they don't know, like the Giant Peach and the Great Glass Elevator. Kinda funny to see them panic and then find out it's just some friendly, strange people from England with something they had never imagined before. Oh and the ending, it is one of the most heart-warming ending in all his books! The rhythm in this book is not as good as those in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory(my opinion), but still, good enough:) [April, 2012]
