An exquisite 30th anniversary edition of The BFG - Roald Dahl's much-loved story of a little girl, Sophie, and a Big Friendly Giant. This large format paperback comes in a beautiful, ingeniously designed slipcase and is a gloriumptious gift for Roald Dahl fans and book collectors. 'Human beans is not really believing in giants, is they? Human beans is not thinking we exist.' On a dark, silvery moonlit night, Sophie is snatched from her bed by a giant. Luckily it is the Big Friendly Giant, the BFG, who only eats snozzcumbers and glugs frobscottle. But there are other giants in Giant Country. Fifty foot brutes who gallop far and wide every night to find human beans to eat. Can Sophie and her friend the BFG stop them? Listen to THE BFG and other Roald Dahl audiobooks read by some very famous voices, including Kate Winslet, David Walliams and Steven Fry - plus there are added squelchy soundeffects from Pinewood Studios! Look out for new Roald Dahl apps in the App store and Google Play- including the disgusting TWIT OR MISS! inspired by the revolting Twits.

This was a pretty good read for me, but then again, I do like Roald Dahl books. Sophie's just an ordinary girl in an ordinary orphanage. But, she can't go to sleep. She lies awake, and suddenly sees something pretty strange out the window--a giant man carrying a suitcase that looks like a trumpet. Sophie tries to hide from this monster, but is unable to, and he picks her up and runs with her until they reach a large cave. That's when everything begins. Sophie is told that she cannot leave the cave, because the BFG's existence must remain unknown. Plus, if she leaves, other monsters might eat her up. The BFG is a kind giant that collects children's dreams and destroys the bad ones, giving the good ones to the children. Later on, Sophie and the BFG vow to take out all the monsters that eat all the young children that they see. Will this be possible? Read this classic to find out!

I read this book because when I found out it had giants in it I got very interested. I hope you like it, too. 4/5 I remembered this book from 1 year ago. I didn't find much interest in it at that time. Now that I see it again I just grabbed it from the library. This story was interesting.

This was a magnificent book from Roald Dahl. An instant classic for anyone who likes friends, giants, and humor. It did get a wee bit dull though.

The BFG is a story of a girl named Sophie who spots a giant! His full name is The Big Friendly Giant. The BFG catches dreams and stores them up in his home before sharing the good dreams with sleeping children. The BFG also has super powers! It is a very good book that everyone should read!
