Product Description
James’s aunts call him names, beat and starve him and make his life a misery. If only his parents hadn’t been eaten by an escaped rhinoceros, he wouldn’t be in this mess. But one day he meets a man who gives him a bag of magic crocodile tongues and so starts the adventure of his dreams.Amazon.com Review
When poor James Henry Trotter loses his parents in a horrible rhinoceros manufacturing accident, he is forced to live with his two wicked aunts, Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker. After three years he becomes “the saddest and loneliest boy you could find.” Then one day, a wizened ancient man in a dark-green suit gives James a bag of magic crystals that promise to back his misery forever. When James accidentally spills the crystals on his aunts’ withered peach tree, he sets the adventure in motion. From the ancient tree a single peach grows, and grows, and grows some more, until finally James climbs inside the giant fruit and rolls away from his despicable aunts to a whole new life. James befriends an assortment of hilarious characters, including Grasshopper, Earthworm, Miss Spider, and Centipede–each with his or her own song to sing. Roald Dahl’s rich imagery and amusing characters ensure that parents will not tire of reading this classic aloud, which they will no doubt be called to do over and over again! With the addition of witty black and white pencil drawings by Lane Smith (of The Stinky Cheese Man and Additional Honestly Stupid Tales and The Right Tale of the Three Small Pigs fame), upon which the animation for the Disney movie was based, this classic, now in paperback, is bursting with renewed vigor. We’ll just come right out and say it: James and the Giant Peach is one of the finest children’s books ever written. (Ages 9 to 12)

James and the Giant Peach is simply nonsense. If you like nonsense then you may like this book. The tale is as simple as the additional reviews make it sound: A giant peach grows, he crawls inside, he meets some huge insects. That’s basically it. It is not clever. I did not find it amusing. I would have agreed it only one star, but my son liked it, adage, “Dahl writes excellent books, but they’re weird.” I feel sorry for anyone who feels this is their favorite childhood book.

The plot of this book is for James and his friends, which are insects I might add, to go to the city of New York to be safe from James aunts.
It has a excellent plot, but it could use a small more reason for James to for fill the plot. I mean it was his dream to go there one day, and be safe from his aunts, but it could use a small more reason. For example, It could be because it was his dream to go there and be safe from his aunts, but it could also be because it was what his parents told him to go before the rhino killed them.
Over all it is a pretty excellent book for some, but it just doesn’t fulfill my expectations. I like more of mystical books, it does have some magic, but not enough. So if to like a normal book with a small twist, please read this book.

I’m not really sure why I didn’t delight in this book. It had a very weird tale to it; a small too weird. It did have excellent adventure, a fun tale…I guess after reading the two Harry Potter books, nothing can compair. I reccomend this book to exadurated people.
