IT GETS GOOD AGAIN! We could finish the rest of the book without a whiny witch and I have to say, I did like the job of the reader other than that hard-to-listen to chapter.
Daughter wanted to finish the graphic novel before her class finishes the novel. This is one of the few books he’s written that I haven’t read. It was released straight to the HBO Max platform on October 22nd 2020, instead. Originally intended to be released in theaters in October of 2020, it was pulled from the schedule due to the COVID-19 pandemic. After that terrible chapter, I was worried about how the rest of the book would be and I am happy to report that. Road Dahl is a childhood favourite of mine. Roald Dahl’s The Witches is Robert Zemeckis’s latest special-effects-filled, family friendly extravaganza. That particular chapter was so bad that I could only grasp 30-40 percent of what the Grand High Witch was saying, My daughter, who this audiobook was for, could probably only pick out 5-10 percent.maybe. I almost didn't want to listen to the rest of the audibook. Then the chapterk took a tumble and it's a large one for me.
or was I? The book was rather pleasing and well done up until Chapter 7 where we hear the Grand High Witch. After hearing the really nice sample that included sound effects, voice-changes, etc, I thought such a reviewer could just be overally sensitive.
#The witches roald dahl book review update#
UPDATE 10/22 Before getting the book, I checked out other reviews and saw some negative ones about the Grand High Witch's voice. I really wish I could give this book a higher rating. This book should have come with a WARNING on the front cover. Getting to the end was touch and go several times! Unfortunately, without knowing if Miranda Richardson is going to use her pleasant voice or her screeching voice, we will never buy a book she narrates again. The story itself was fabulous, and the only reason we finished the book.which was no easy feat. A book about 'real witches' the ones that absolutely loathe children and are alwayke cover as well as a whole new exciting end section about Roald Dahl and his world.
#The witches roald dahl book review skin#
Besides the skin crawling voice and the inaudible performance, the sound would go from so loud your head throbbed, to so low, you had to stop a rewind a few times before you could figure out what was said. Did anyone at the publisher listen to this before releasing it for sale? I would be shocked if that were the case. The Witches misses a few spells, but Anne Hathaway's game performance might be enough to bewitch fans of this Roald Dahl tale. Besides making our ears bleed, we could understand about every third word of the High Witch. Her voice is so shrill that nails scratching on a chalk board is much more comforting. On a scale of 1-5 stars, I would give it 5 stars.Do NOT listen to this book in the car, as the voice of the High Witch will make you want to drive straight into a wall. The Witches is written for kids ages 7 and up. What I understood after reading this book was that ‘It does not matter how you look like if you have someone that loves you’. I have not seen it but I plan to watch it. It was written so well I could imagine all the pages. Our author here, has an impressive way of writing stories. Roald Dahl was a British novelist, short story writer, poet, screenwriter and wartime fighter pilot. The main character of this story is a little boy who goes and lives with his grandma in Norway. My mom bought this book for me as I love reading. When I first saw this book I thought that this book will be very amusing. Danny and his father live in a caravan parked right next to the garage where his father works.
That shadow is cast by Nicholas Roeg’s strange and terrifying 1990 adaptation starring Anjelica Huston, which expertly captured the wicked humour of Dahl’s book. A classic Roald Dahl title, a most touching story of a boy and his very special father. A long shadow looms over Robert Zemeckis’ new take on Roald Dahl’s classic 1980s book The Witches, starring Octavia Spencer, Anne Hathaway and newcomer Jahzir Bruno.
