From Reader Review Boy and Going Solo for online ebook Fatima Alsuwaidi says This was such a beautiful READ. Note that: I only read BOY, since I've already read Going Solo but couldn't get my hands on a separate copy of Boy, so I had to get the combined edition which was worth it; It is a gorgeous print and it makes me want to reread Going Solo again. Boy. Is a memoir of the childhood of the one and only Roald Dahl, its filled with adventures, memories full of health issues, and medical care and awful awful awful school systems. I learned a lot about cultural backgrounds, families and hard work; Hard work was a true element of the Dahls. I especially liked his strong bond with his mother, I cherished every written word; I love boys who are good to their moms, I wish he had written more memories about her, she seemed like an awesome person. If I'm gifting someone a book this year it would be this book, deffintly the combined edition. Highly recommend it. Hannah says Actual Rating: 2.5 The fact that I had to read this book for school was sad. I hate reading books for school because I think the books are always about something you don't really care about. I not a huge fan of Roald Dahl's books, there I said it. I had to read The BFG in fourth grade and I hated it. Although, I thought that some of the stories in the book were interesting or funny, my real rating for this book would be 2.5 because it was ok, but not to the point were I could give it three stars. Joaquin De Jesus says A simply charming book that reflects the both the simplicities and complexities that come with living life in the past. It contains come crude humour because of the way life was structured back then but overall is a pleasing book that one can read at any time. Note that for younger readers the "Boy" section of the book is suitable, but the second section contains some unfortunate information because of the time and place of when it is set. PDF File: Boy and Going Solo... 3 Read and Download Ebook Boy and Going Solo... King Etu Walker says Do you enjoy autobiographies about amazing people that really changed the way we view the world? People who have influenced so many? Well, introducing Roald Dahl’s autobiography: Boy. Boy is a hilarious yet heart-warming novel going through all of the incredible events in Dahl’s life. The book essentially is a timeline of Roald Dahl’s life: starting from him as a four-year-old in kindergarten and then expands the story into him as a high-school student. This book has taught me how strict and harsh the olden days were. I thought this especially when in one chapter; nine-year-old Dahl and his group of friends put a dead rat into the horrible sweet shop owner’s jar of lollies. This resulted in the owner finding out. She was so mad that she took the group to their headmaster where they were whacked with the cane. The sweet shop owner was horrible to them: yelling “Yah!!! Whack ‘em! Whack ‘em until they fall to the ground praying for you to stop!” I learned a lot from that scene. Overall, this book has also shown me that Roald Dahl’s life was just as funny, crazy, and wonderful as the stories he wrote. Kristen Coke-sutton says I love Roald Dahl. I read much of this book aloud to Jackson and he enjoyed it as much as I did. I will give most books that I finish five stars. If I am not loving a book, I move on to the next. Truly though this book is a new favorite. Timothy Bachheimer says This story about Roald Dahl when he was a boy and when he started going independently from his parents was a really interesting book to read. The book was detailed and people could understand it easily. It was good that Roald Dahl put some of his pictures and put captions underneath it, so it made readers understand what he was talking about. Samay Bansal says This is overall an extremely interesting book. Being an auto-biography I initially thought this book would just be a list of events of Roald Dahl's Life but with a more professional flare. I was right however that being said, Dahl's life is extremely interesting and his previous experiences were amazing to read. His hard work from a young age is a testament to his amazing success in the literary industry. He was able to accommodate humour, suspense, emotion, and interesting writing techniques while still maintaining the integrity of his life story. Do I feel he might have exaggerated some segments? Yes, but only slightly. His travels, time in the Army, deployment on Africa, and schooling have all impacted his life and he has shared that with the world. My favorite section is where Dahl encounters a Black Mamba in Africa and the events that follow. This is a book recommended for all ages and any sex. PDF File: Boy and Going Solo... 4 Read and Download Ebook Boy and Going Solo... ** Note: This is not a difficult read, if you are looking to challenge yourself this may not be the book for you. This is an auto-biography and has no Genre in particular. Its an amazing read and I have read it 5-6 times. Emma says I recently re-read Boy and Going Solo. Reading the books as an adult gives them a whole new meaning. I was crying at the end of Going Solo when he speaks about returning from the war to see his Mum - he made it sound so straight forward, especially when you compare what it must have been like for him to what our troops are going through now in the current conflict. Frances says An interesting memoir of that part of Dahl's life. It made me appreciate the bravery of people who choose to serve their country in war and the uncertainty they face on a daily basis on the battlefield, and yet they still do their best to serve. 15PinderF says I really enjoyed it especially the dead mouse part hissi says this is one of those books that makes you want to go out there and live your life to the fullest, the author has truly and utterly lived, young and forever fearless. that's how we all should live. to get the most out of our short lives.i am truly inspired to take greater and bigger risks to make mistakes and don't be afraid to let go, it made me want to make a story out of every day routinely life. Oonagh says I chose this book because i wanted to try reading an autobiography of some sort and i have always loved Roald Dahl's stories and so was genuinely interested in his life. It was very light and an easy read which though entertaining failed to grasp my full interest. So while i would still recommend it for first time autobiography readers i wouldnt recommend it for someone looking for an in-depth narrative Ella says I read the first half of this book when I was a lot younger and I decided that it was time for me to tackle the harsher side of Roald Dahl's story. I've never been taught much about the Second World War but this was PDF File: Boy and Going Solo... 5 Read and Download Ebook Boy and Going Solo... truly eye opening. I never knew that the war spread as far and wide as Egypt, Italy, Africa and Lebanon! Reading what that war was like from a view point which was neither German nor English (as he had been away for so long and didn't really know what was going on there) was very educational.
