This books has it's pro's and cons. One of the cons is that it felt a little one sided and focussed a lot of the negatives in Dahl's life (mostly caning.. so much caning) that it sometimes almost became depressing to read. But on the other side, Dahl always has a funny spin to everything and makes sure you understand the time in which he was a child.
It was an interesting read and I would recommend if you are interested.
Short Review - an autobiography of Dahl's childhood written for elementary children. Mildly interesting as an adult, but I think this would be a great book for children to learn about biography and autobiography.
The longer review is on my blog at http://bookwi.se/boy-dahl/
