Georges Marvellous Medicine

This is a fantastic book and it has to be the best Roald Dahl book ever! It is brilliant and it is about a boy who has a very nasty old grandma. This book is great because it is interesting and I liked the part when he makes the medicine from disgusting things.

Fabulous book!!
|
This is a marvellous book. I like it because it's really hilarious, the characters are really funny and terrific!!
This book would be good for my age (8yrs) because they will understand it. It is illustrated beautifully and nicely by Quentin Blake.
This story is awesome!!

Brill Book!

George totally despises his grandmother. He thinks her a witch, (and so does she because she says she has got some power to tell secrets, that would make your hair stand straight up on end and your eyes pop out of their sockets, which made George want to run away) and he wants to get his revenge. It's nearly time to give granny her medicine but this time George doesn't give her the proper one but his own marvellous medication...
This book is funny, exciting and a bit frightening with a brilliant twist or two. Another of Roald Dahl's modern classic and a brilliant read all children and adults alike. Criticism: I didn't really like the idea of grandma shrinking into absolutely nothing. Instead, I think she should have shrunk to the size of a doll and she was given to a little girl as a present. Then, it would have been more amusing and rather thrilling so the book would finish of really well. Rating: 8/ 10.

New to me.

I am not sure that this one was available when I was a child so I read it for the first time to my own children. Whilst it didn't seem to have quite the same magic for me, they laughed at every antic of George and at every reaction of the grandmother, cheering him on to give her more and more of her medicine. So I rated it 5 for their response. My young ones couldn't wait to get into more books after this so I guess it had to be good.
