I like the storyline, but I don't really like the way Roald Dahl wrote it. It starts very tragic, but it gets happier as the story goes along. Spiker and Sponge are exciting characters. It wasn't very funny, I don't remember any puns. I wouldn't really recommend this.

Do you like the book or the play better?
I love to play, but I don't like the book.
I really liked James and the Giant Peach. It is a really magical book. It really takes you into the story, it is like you are in the peach with James. This story is about a boy named James. James lives with his two mean aunts because his parents were eaten by a rhino. One day, on a tree in a James' yard a peach grows on the tree. But it is not any peach it is a magical peach. It grows so big it gets bigger than the tree it is on. The peach falls off of the tree and it rolls down the hill James lives on. There is a whole crazy adventure on the peach that I do not want to spoil! My favorite part of James and the Giant peach is when the peach is in the air flying and it falls on the Empire State Building. I really like Roald Dahl. (He is the author of James and the Giant peach). His books are so so funny. This book is probably one of the best books that I ever read! I will totally read another one of Roald Dahl's books. I will totally recommend this book to you! I hope you enjoy the book, and if you do there is a movie!
James and the Giant Peach is a magical book that takes you through a adventure on a peach! This is a perfect book for fantasy lovers, but I would recommend this book to everyone. I love Roald Dahl books but this one was wonderful! Roald Dahl writes lots of fantasy books, and this one was a perfect example of a classic Roald Dahl fantasy book. The title James and the Giant Peach perfectly fits this book without giving any spoilers. My Favorite part of this book is when the peach lands on top of the empire state building. This book is about a little boy named James who travels on a giant floating peach.Join James and his friends in a adventure through the skies.
James and the Giant Peach is a magical story that takes you into a whole new world. I would say that this books is funny and entertaining. I would recommend this book to kids 5th Grade and under.

i desided that I read this book becase I love peach
I decided to read this book because I love Peaches What I like about this book is that the two Nans look very very ugly
This was really good. And one thing I learned from somewhere was that the giant peach, first started as a giant cherry in the draft. But it changed over time. This book is good.
