I did not like the book except the end because most of the book was boring but at the end of the book it became interesting because he became RAF pilot.

The plot of this book is about Roald Dahl writing about his Family, School Years, And of course himself! I would recommend this book if you are interested in learning about the author: Roald Dahl.

I don’t like that the boy gets smacked with a cane on his bottom by his Headteacher. I like it because it is about Roald Dahl

This book was amazing! It told me all about Roald Dahl who wrote some of the best children's books in history. You may never have heard of boy but most people will be able to recall Charlie and the Chocolate factory. You need to read this book.

Boy is an interesting book to read; it tells you all about Roald Dahl when he was about six years old to when he got his first job. It’s a biography book with not too many pictures in it . It teaches you about his childhood and how it was to live in that moment. I would recommend it to people who like reading About an or this childhood

This book was non fiction. It tells you more about Roald Dahl's life. It is funny, gripping and I wanted to read it again the second I finished it. I liked the part where the rat was put in gobstoppers. I also liked the fact that whenever Roald got caned in the book, he would have a picture of a cane and it would always say 'cane' or 'cane again' and I liked the other illustrations too. I'd recommend this book to anyone who likes history or finding out about people's lives and what things were like in the 1900s

My favourite part of the book was when young Roald Dahl put goat's droppings into one of his sisters' future husband. It is a mini autobiography.
Prince Gargoyle Spaghetti-Hoops 26.07.2024
I really liked the diary and how it was all about Roald Dahl’s life. This book had lots of information and I could imagine the things he described about growing up.

I loved this book but I thought it was scary when boy's nose was almost completely cut off!
