This was a cute, funny story. I actually read this since I want to see the movie but figure I better read the book first. IT is a very fast story, with silly nonsensical words that make complete sense to the BFG. I love his character. Wise yet uneducated with a heart of gold. This book made my laugh several times. A great way for an adult to bring out their inner child or a child just to read and have fun in the silliness of it all. So long as they are not Whizpopping along!!
