This book is one of my favorite. It is also funny, and I like all of those characters except those aunts. The description is good, characters are very entertaining. I recommend this book to anyone who likes unbelievable stories 🙂 and fantasy.
I read this book as a child, I think, and the book was brilliant. I like the fact that Dahl had put loads of humour into his book. The silk worm was the funniest character in the book.
I will say this is awesome, but don’t you get juice all over yourself in a peach? Amazing imagination
I think this book is very good at the first part where the part about the aunts and how the giant peach grows, it has great imagination about the worms and how their journey begins. But when it’s getting to the end it seems like the description is not as detail as the beginning, but still I’ll give this book five stars.
This book is based on imagination and creativity, the author has a super strong logic and imagination to create the things which appeared in the book. Almost nobody have ever think about to make a peach bigger and build a house which giant insects, and nobody can think of an idea with such a fascinating adventure which catches your attention so much that you want to read them all through at once. The mysterious green seed shining with dim green light, created such a good environment to force your curiosity to discover more and more in the book. So I suggest this book to all aged students or adult, because it can be entertaining, and also let you enjoy to read the classical piece from Roald Dahl.
Review for the Book Battle thingy
Have you ever wondered how it is like to live with a group of magical creatures inside a peach? Well in this case, James have to luck to have this amazing adventure with some magical and mythical friends inside a peach. In this story, poor James is tortured by his evil aunts, Sponge and Spike. Just like their names, one is skinny and one is chubby, but they are just as mean. So one day, James received some magical powder which gives him good luck and a chance to have a beautiful wish. James was so happy as he was running back that he tripped besides a peach tree. Bit by bit, a peach the size of a house appeared out of the tree and the adventure begins.
THis is an amazing story that is light hearted and filled with creativity. And it also proves to us that worms are not harmful to us but rather amazing because they have all sorts of fun abilities. THis is also a lot of magic in it, making this book worth a read. It is a very pleasing story, and as you read, it pulls you into it deeper and deeper part of the magic, enjoying the power of Roald Dahl’s mind.
So now flip open the page and pop a bit of imagination into you.
Love the imagination behind it. Love the beginning but getting more down at the end.
This book is very creativity, and full imagination. It started with James was lived with his two mean aunts very miserable. One day, James got a bag of some sort of magic powder from an old man, the old man said this bag of magical powder can make him never be miserable in him whole life. James was sitting in the garden, looking at the bag of magic powder that old man gave to him. Accidentally, he dropped some of the magic powder on the ground, and the peach on the peak of the tree started grew bigger and bigger…
I will give 4 starts to this book, the author used a lot of the detail at the beginning, but less at the end. However, I still say this is a great book.
James, a young boy living with his Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spike ( because his parents died by a rhino) has to do EVERYTHING. Until one day, when he was just at about the age of 4, he met a wise old man. With a promise and a few instructions, he happily did whatever he was told to do with the seeds. Then, a terrible turn happens at the most unexpected time, and place. As the peach on a tree keeps on growing, the Aunts use this opportunity to collect cash. Poor James, he still couldn’t see a kid ever in his life. Then in night a surprising voyage happens, with insects, that bring him rising. I think this book detailed the poems of the insects introductions, and the plot with a fascinating twist.
ah, i just love all the Roald Dahl books. They are all so creative and lovely. so much adventures and u won’t ever find the book boring. James, a little boy who lived in a giant peach…wow, road dahl has such amazing imagination. I really wish to be like him someday.
The book was about a boy who had an andventure in a gaint peach. I never saw any one who had those kind of imagination. The book was short and easy to ready too. I hope you can ready it.
I also like the black humorour of the athuor. I hope I be that little boy in the story, and have adventure with him too. I think it is better to ready this book when I am yonger, the styel of the book is really good for smaller children
This book is one of my favorite books from Roald Dahl, this is more of an adventure story book, still love it a lot
one of the Roald Dahl classic book, it is a story about James and some bugs and a giant peach, the story start in a pathetic way, apparently James was a orphan, and been sent to his nasty aunts who treated him as a servant, one day when he is passing a bush a little man come out and gave him a bag of little green things that seems to be crystals, and he told him how he can let the magic work he ran to the kitchen but the half way he fell, the seeds come out underneath a peach tree but never gave peaches he sadly walked away, at a sudden his aunts shouted out that there is peach on the peach tree. But it kept growing never stopped the next morning james went in the peach and found insects which is large inside it. all of a sudden the peach roll down the hills and there the journey have came. after a long time they arrived on the scraper the pessimistic earthworm is complaining but at last they get down an James became a successful business boy.
This book is briefly about a skinny and weak boy that traveled an exquisite trip around the earth with some magical friends, they were The Centipede, Earthworm, Ladybug, Spider, Glow worm, and The Grasshopper. They huddled into the core of the peach which grew to an enormous peach to travel.
I liked this book because it told many great and page-turning tales, like the time where they encountered the cloud men, made me to feel what they felt, they suffered from obstacles, and enjoyed from the final triumph. Even through it is actually purely Fictional. The best part I think is the part where the peach and it’s passengers reached their final destination.
i like this book, it tells about the amazing adventure about james and giant peach. also james found some friends in the center of the peach he found. centipede, Earthworm, Ladybug, Spider, Glow worm, and The Grasshopper. They huddled into the core of the peach which grew to an enormous peach to travel. they travle to alots of place.
James and the Giant Peach is a amazing book. Author makes James very poor and his two aunt is very bad like an old witch. And they found a giant peach but they don’t know James is in there and make a lot of friend that is insect. And they float to New York. That sound is not a true story but after you read this book, you feel that is a true story.
