James and the Giant Peach

I was surprised to find, while reading this to my daughter, that I had never read it before. I expected to pick up the thread of it after a dozen or so pages, but turns out, no.
I probably didn't enjoy it as much as other Roald Dahl children's books, but it is without doubt imaginative and clever, and my daughter liked it. I know a lot of people consider this their favourite, so not sure what didn't work for me.
Three stars.
