'Boy' is a very interesting book by the very famous, well-known author Roald Dahl.
Its all about Roald Dahl's childhood and where he got the inspiration to write his popular novels. It gives you an understanding of how Roald Dahls life was like when he was a child and who his parents are. This book is complete with notes and cute photo's of Roald Dahl at a young age. At the end it also includes exciting facts when he was a boy, his favourite things (fav colour, fav food etc), his writing hut and important writing tips!
Its a truly fascinating book and is all about Roald's childhood. It will appeal to people who want to read and gain knowledge about Roald Dahl.

This book is great! The descriptive language and great way Roald Dahl captivates whoevers reading it by how he over exaggerates his stories to make you want to read more. This was a class assignment but I would still read it out of school. Boy is a great recap of Roald Dahl's life.

This is a brilliantly written autobiography of roald dahl's childhood! He writes itin such a way you forget you're reading an autobiography and think you are reading one of his stories. It is great!!!
