"If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until it looks so ugly you can hardly bear to look at it."

How do you outwit a Twit? Mr. and Mrs. Twit are the smelliest, ugliest people in the world. They hate everything -- except playing mean jokes on each other, catching innocent birds to put in their Bird Pies, and making their caged monkeys, the Muggle-Wumps, stand on their heads all day. But the Muggle-Wumps have had enough. They don't just want out, they want revenge.

I absolutely love this book!Roald Dahl was a very good writer, and even though i love all of his books, this one is my definite favorite!!You have to read it.It kept me interested the whole time.

Oh... I remember this books! So, there was these two people called the Twits. They were a couple (I have no idea why, since they hate each other) and owned monkeys. They played pranks on each other, ( each chapter has an different prank) like making them float away on balloons, making them think they shrunk, and more. The monkeys decided to play a trick on the Twits.... Find out more by reading. Trust me, it's worth it.

The Twits is a book about a couple who are very nasty on the outside and on the inside. The Twits do these horrible tricks on each other and on the creatures around them. This story is about how they learn their lesson to be kind to everybody. I really liked this book because it made me laugh a lot. Roald Dahl made this story so lively, the twits often come up in my dreams! This a must-read!

Nah, I don't think they learned their lesson, because they, didn't survive.

A nice, funny and classic tale by Roald Dahl, The Twits is a fun and easy-going read.

This book begins with Mr. and Mrs. Twit playing filthy tricks on each other. Later on a Tuesday Mr. Twit covers a tree branch super glue and in the morning there were many birds (probably just crows) on the tree all stuck. The Twits ate them feathers and all.

Wow this is really good and funny

This was a really funny book I really liked it. I read it at school in tower time(that's like golden time)

It's living(?) in my house, but I haven't read it yet!

This book is about Mr.Twit and Mrs.Twit. They are the ugliest, nastiest and smelliest people in the world. They hate everything except playing nasty, mean jokes like: worms instead of pasta!, frogs in beds!, or eating bird pie! They also like ill treating their caged monkeys... but the monkeys are tired of this... What are the monkeys going to do ? My favourite part is when Mr Twit is eating worms instead of pasta. Quentin Blake is such a fantastic illustrator because he makes me laugh with his drawings. I recommend this book because it is funny and the tricks will make you laugh. I like Roald Dahl's books because Adults are bad and in his books children are good and I like his style because he makes me feel like I am in the story.Roald Dahl`s characters reminds me of someone in my family that is very ugly...my brother!
