An incredibly touching, sweet, incredible and easy story about justice. A very simple language that tightens and does not let go. Roald Dahl very skillfully builds the storyline - so that the pages you want to turn over and over again - there must be some clue to which you want to find the answer. History, which is initially difficult to believe. But when reading about this you can easily forget - and just immerse yourself in an atmosphere of fun, struggle, heat and smart, worthy people.

It seems to me that Matilda can be read and useful at any age. Although, probably, children will understand it even better than adults.
