An Un-Calibrated Centrifuge

Esio Trot

Esio Trot - Quentin Blake, Roald Dahl

I went on vacation at the end of October, read a surprising amount on the trip, and stopped reviewing books here. To be fair, booklikes was having issues before and after I left, so even when I was trying to review books I couldn't. So I'm catching up now before the end of the year.

 

I enjoyed Esio Trot. I think it's the first Roald Dahl I've liked as an adult. The ones I read as a kid have that nostalgia factor. The one's I've read as an adult just seem weird.

 

The only thing I didn't like in the story was the fact that

Mr Hoppy steals Mrs Silver's original tortoise and never tells her.
