James and the Giant Peach

I just got around to reading this Roald Dahl book. Yes, I realize it's shocking that I'd never read it. But now I have, so you can stop being shocked. I am uncertain how well I liked it... I feel like it was a reasonably good book, but I'm still disappointed and that may be because I had over-high expectations, because it is such a classic? Not sure... also I feel sorry for all the seagulls left trailing silk ropes around their necks indefinitely. But maybe I'm weird?

Well, you _are_ weird, but I'm not sure that has anything to do with your feelings regarding the seagulls. :)

I will reread children's books that I read as a child, but I've given up on reading them for the first time. It turns out that the way to enjoy most children's books is to have read them when you were a child.
