 October is Famous Monsters Month at 50th Street Studios. Join me and my co-hosts at our Twitch channel for classic monster double features every Saturday evening this month. See you there! Hello everybody, welcome back. This is another unusual one for me. Matilda by Roald Dahl. I listened to this audiobook back to back with an audiobook of Hemingway's Old Man in the Sea from last week and both books were immediately impressive with how well written they were. Roald Dahl was an excellent writer and Matilda is an extremely well written book. I wanted to read the book because I had recently watched the movie at the recommendation of some other people and I was pleasantly surprised how entertaining and funny it was. The book is good. If you like the movie, if you're familiar with the story, you should read the book. However, something odd, the book didn't really seem to have much of an ending. It just kind of petered out and then stopped, which really surprised me because otherwise the writing was just so excellently good. For those of you who don't know, the story of Matilda is about a little girl from an abusive and neglectful family who finds a new family of her own with a beloved school teacher whom she develops a relationship with. And there's other stuff thrown in, of course, even a little bit of magic. But that's one of the problems with the ending of the book. There's no resolution to the discovery and the use of the magic and I was left thinking well. Okay, that's it for this week. Thank you for watching. Please become a sponsor.
