I enjoyed it. I listened to the audiobook read by Chris O'Dowd and between his enthusiasm and the sound effects, it was an interesting and enjoyable listen. But I was expecting it to be a little more interesting. At least it was a short story. I expect a bit less from them because they take less of my time.
Another fantastic (like Mr Fox) Roald Dahl book. A suspenseful book that kept me (and my son) interested to the end as we followed the fortunes of the Fox family trying to stay one step ahead of the farmers. Highly recommended for children.
I don't think I've actually read this book (or any Ronald Dahl books), but I have seen the films and can only vaguely remember. Thinking from an educator's (secondary) perspective, maybe I'm thinking too hard, but I do like Badger's questioning of Mr. Fox's actions and balancing between what is right and wrong and the ethics behind every or certain actions. It's a silly book and still fun, regardless. I want to see the movie again!
Почему я оценила книгу только в 2 звезды, хотя произведения Роальда Даля я люблю? Потому, что он показывает, что у плохих людей (так вообщем назовем 3 “отрицательных” фермеров, хотя кто из нас не без изъяна)воровать можно и даже нужно. Для их же пользы, в качестве перевоспитания. Хотя сам М.Лис - вор с большой буквы, из-за которого пострадали остальные жители леса. А слабый глас совести Барсука был задавлен в корне - лучше быть сытым, чем спать спокойно в согласии со своей совестью. Единственный плюс - это как показаны тесные семейные отношения в семье М.Лиса. Короче говоря, книга только для американских детей, провозглашающая семейные ценности и достаток любым путем.

I was also pretty excited to read this one. I adore the movie, like Matilda. Though I think I would pick the movie again, just because you get more time with everyone. The book was straight to the point, which is fine, but I would have liked just a wee bit more.
Read this for the first time since i was a young child, after recently watching the new(ish) film. Still a classic childrens story, and one I still very much enjoy! I look forward to having my own children one day who too can enjoy Roald Dahl's wonderful storytelling!
