Interpretation Conducive To Books Revolting Rhymes
I'm not going to review this, I'm simply going to point out to many of the previous reviewers that the word "slut" is defined as "a dirty, untidy, or slovenly woman". It is only in the past 20 years, or so, that the word has commonly become associated with sexual morality (or the lack thereof). Especially given Roald Dahl's age when he wrote this in the 1980s, I'm pretty certain that he did not mean it to have any sexual connotation, especially since cinderella is, by definition, someone who looks dirty and untidy all the time! Besides that, anyone who doesn't want to "expose" their young child to the corrupting influence of this book because of that one word, taken out of context, is extremely unrealistic about what sort of language they hear/use when they are in the school yard! Let your children read it, I guarantee they'll thank you for it!Rating Appertaining To Books Revolting Rhymes

This was another major laugh riot from Dahl. I kept cracking up when I was reading this at work.Another of my favourite Dahl books Fairy tales with a gruesome twist. Like poetry that flies off the page.Spent many a day reading this book with delight and laughter. Have introduced it to my cousin who is now old enough to appreciate the exciting tales as the Characters jump off the page.Highly recommend if your wanting something a lil quirky and different to read. That will have you giggling at the crazy tales.Enjoy!
I really enjoyed this book full of short stories! All the short stories were remakes of fairy tales. They were all gruesome and some of them even intertwined. I highly suggest this book for anyone that likes fairy tales and/or anyone that likes Roald Dahl. I really feel this was one of his best works, even though it is really short.
Cover makes more sense now~I don't know how this will hold up for a kid cause it's too twisted. Most tales in it are gruesome unlike the original tales.This was quite different than I expected and i sure had fun reading it.
Sometimes when I'm hanging out with Patrick, Jeff will come home and hijack him, and they'll start doing something together that I can't or don't want to do. Tonight it was Excite Truck on the Nintendo Wii, so I retreated to my room and finished reading an essay by Susan Orlean about Bankock's Khao San Road in an old Best American Travel Writing, and then I read the entire book Revolting Rhymes by Roald Dahl. This book was a real treat due entirely to its cleverness.So, then, a little later, we
