    My favorite is Matilda hands down. I also really enjoy Fantastic Mr. Fox though. Oh wait, I like all of them.

    Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and the BFG. I also loved Dahl's book about his own childhood, cant remember what it was called.

    Boy? and Going Solo was the sequel.

    Oh thi is so hard to decide - I love them all. Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator was awesome, the Vermicious Knids rock.

    but The Witches and The BFG were awesome too (I especially liked the BFG because the girl was called Sophie, like me :p)

    And apparently Wes Anderson, the guy behind movies like The Royal Tenenbaums and Rushmore is making a stop-motion animated film of Fantastic Mr Fox. Exciting!

    I have all the Roald Dahl books!

    It's difficult to choose my favourite though - I'd probably have to go for a few.

    The Twits, The Withces, James and the Giant Peach and George's Marvellous Medicine.

    If I had to choose - George's Marvellous Medicine.

    BFG! Nice to see it almost beat out Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I heard his stuff for Adults was really weird but I've never managed to find copies of it anywhere yet.

    Has anyone read any of it?
