James has quite an adventure once he breaks free from those despicable aunts. Love Centipede with his shoe obsession and the NYC adventures. No wonder this is a classic.

As a fifteen year old I still found myself loving this book and reading it at a quick pace, bringing it wherever I went. What I liked the most about the book was how Roald Dahl never left out the strange, scary, gory details. He wanted…
