This was a very good, very quick read about the Twits, a nasty old married couple who love to play dirty tricks on each other and be mean to the world in general. It teaches a great lesson: the more negativity and bad thoughts you have and dwell on, the more it will stick with you and make you ugly ...
Oh sweet nostalgia! I remember being read from The Twits as a kid. Roald Dahl truly had an extraordinary mind. A marvellous piece of creepily entertaining craziness.
