Summary: One of my favorites since the fourth grade.
Comment: This book has been one of my favorite books the third or fourth grade, I don't exactly remember which one, I just know that I've really liked it for a long time. I'm getting out of the seventh grade in a month and a half and I've read this book at least five times; each time I read it I enjoy it as if I was reading it for the first time and it never gets old or monotnous. This is a book that I would read to my children as a bed time story; it's really a book the whole family can enjoy. I love how original this book is and how it captures your immangination, regardless of what your age is. I love how different the characters' personalities are and how much they fit them. I especially love Centipede's rudeness and songs, and Aunt Sponges' vainness. Lane Smith's wild illustrations are great; they're much better than the boring realistic illustrations. "James and the Giant Peach" is definitly a keeper. Roald Dahl is, in my opinion, the best children's book writer of all time. If you enjoy this book, I guarantee that you'll love Dahl's "Matilda" and Dahl's "Witches".

Comment: This book is outstanding, adventurous, and you never know what is going to happen next!
The story is about a boy, named James, who wants to be free from his awful aunts. James accidently drops the magic crystals he's been given and they sink into the soil. Amazing things begin to happen to an old peach tree as well as to creatures who turn gigantic. James and the oversized creatures ride the giant peach into many adventures. They meet sharks, seagulls and cloud men along their journey.
James and his friends want to reach a safe and beautiful place to live. Will their dreams come true?
We loved this book because it was funny with lots of action and adventure. We would love to read a new book, James and the Giant Peach, Part II !

Summary: James and The Giant Peach review
Comment: James and The Giant Peach is a great book for everyone. I first read the book when I was about seven, and the story was so amazing that I was imediatly captivated. The story is about a child named James whos parents die one night so he is forced to live with his two aunts, but his aunts are mean and treat him badly.In an attempt to escape the terrible aunts he embarks on a journey in a giant peach, hence the title name.Inside of the peach he meets a group of insects who quickly become his friends and then becomming like a family to him. This is annother one of those books that increases the imaginational skills in young people. This is a great book.
