I don&#8217;t particularly like it; it seems to be, well, a bad sequel to a good book. Or even a bad sequel to a great movie made from a great book. I hate to say anything bad about Roald Dahl, who is one of Your Humble Blogger&#8217;s great favourites, but this book is weak and uninspired, particularly when compared to any of his great accomplishments such as the BFG or James.\n<p>Well, and that&#8217;s too harsh.

It might be better for children, who at least (as I dimly remember enjoying it) will enjoy just returning to the world.\n<p>&amp;nbsp  &amp;nbsp  &amp;nbsp  &amp;nbsp  &amp;nbsp  &amp;nbsp  ,<br>-Vardibidian.\n<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>YHB happened to have extra time on his hands, and was near a copy of Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, so add another book to the list.
