german and english review

Inhalt: Dannys Vater ist Automechaniker und ... Wilddieb!
Als Danny das erfährt, ist er zunächst entsetzt - um später seinen Vater noch zu übertreffen und selbst Weltmeister im Wildern zu werden. Natürlich ist das illegal - aber in guter Familientradition schlagen die bei den den wachsamen Wildhütern mit vielen Tricks und großem Vergnügen ein Schnippchen nach dem anderen.

Meine Bewertung: Wunderbare Vater-Sohn-Beziehung!!!

Es ist geschafft, das war das letzte Roald Dahl Buch, das ich zu Hause liegen hatte und noch nicht gelesen habe. Ich muss mir aber noch zwei oder drei kaufen.

Eigentlich wollte ich das Buch schon im Januar fertig lesen, doch das Leben kam dazwischen und einige gesundheitliche Probleme, alles was absolut nichts mit dem Buch zu tun hat. Deswegen hat es allerdings etwas gedauert bis ich das Buch fertig gelesen habe.

Das Buch selbst gehört nicht zu meinen absoluten Favoriten von ihm aber es war dennoch unheimlich schön und richtig unterhaltsam. Ich liebe Bücher deren Fokus auf Kind-Eltern Beziehungen liegen. Besonders hier die enge Verbindung zwischen Danny und seinem alleinerziehendem Papa. Die Geschichte an sich war einfach richtig lustig und hat mir total gefallen.

Ein Highlight war für mich die Gute Nacht Geschichte mit dem BFG.

Summary: Can Danny and his father outsmart the villainous Mr. Hazell?

Danny has a life any boy would love—his home is a gypsy caravan, he's the youngest master car mechanic around, and his best friend is his dad, who never runs out of wonderful stories to tell. But one night Danny discovers a shocking secret that his father has kept hidden for years. Soon Danny finds himself the mastermind behind the most incredible plot ever attempted against nasty Victor Hazell, a wealthy landowner with a bad attitude. Can they pull it off? If so, Danny will truly be the champion of the world.

My review: Wonderful Father-Son relationship!!!

It is done. This is the last Roald Dahl book that I had at gome that I still had to read. Now I just have to buy two or three more.

I planned on actually finishing this book in january but life happened and some health issues, everything that isn't related to the book at all. But that's why it took my a while to actually finish this book.

The book itself isn't one of my favorites but I still enjoyed it quite a lot and had lots of fun with it. I just love books that focus on Children-Parents relationships. I especially really loved the strong bond between Danny and his single father. The story itself was just really fun and I liked it a lot.

A highlight of mine was the Good Night story about the BFG.

One of Roald Dahl's less weird books, similar to Esio Trot. Parts are funny, parts are ridiculous, and I will never love it as much as the ones I read as a child (which are of course much more funny and more ridiculous).

So April and May have been my worst reading months in YEARS! I'm soon to take a huge exam and I truly don't have time for anything else. I'm so tired that when I'm not studying, I don't even feel like reading, which is completely new for me lol. It's like my eyes don't want to move anymore, so I just end up watching some shows on Netflix. It looks like it's going to be like this for another couple of months, but I'll try to read a little bit more in June because I miss it too much!

So here's my mini wrap-up post for April and May:

Chew Vol. 4, 5 and 6 (4 out of 5 stars each): I really like this Graphic Novel, and it keeps getting more interesting. Warning: you may cry at the end of volume 6. Other than that, I really recommend it!

The Strain - Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan (3 out of 5 stars). This book was such a dissapointment. The beggining was PERFECT. I was in the safety of my library and I was petrified with that fist scene where they approach the dark airplane. The first chapters were great, and then... every chapter was a repetition. We read about every single transformation. In detail. The characters were a bit cliche, but I didn't mind that as much as I minded that the whole book seems like an introduction to something else, and not a stand alone book of more than 400 pages. I did like the idea behind the book so I'll check the tv series, but I don't think I'll be reading the rest of the series.

Dear Mr. Henshaw - Beberly Cleary (4 out of 5 stars). This was my first book by this author and I really liked it. Leigh was adorable, I just wanted to hug him and tell him it was all going to be alright. My respects to Mr. Henshaw because I don't think I'd keep writting Leigh back lol 

Danny the Champion of the World - Roald Dahl (5 out of 5 stars). I can't help it. So far, I've loved every book written by Dahl. I SO wish I had a father like Danny's! I had such a great time "watching" them both interact every day, I didn't want to finish the book. I'll probably re-read it soon :)

I'm currently reading:

- Chew Vol. 7: Bad Apples

- Player Piano by Kurt Vonnegut (I started it today!)

- A Dance with Dragons --> It has taken me FOREVER to finish this one!! I'm on 71% so I will definitively finish it this month!

That's it! Let's hope June is way better!
