I love everything about this story. Matilda the genius, her mean parents, her great tricks, kind miss honey, evil trunchbull, matilda's powers, everything. Also, you kept the characters alive in the narration. This is one of the most greatest narrations I've ever heard. Great job!👍

Great story and narrations!

The audio version is definitely equal to the film and the book.

Enjoy this if you’ve ever had a bully for a boss or if you can remember a terrifying teacher!

A wonderful read - not only for kids!

A subversive and hilarious story, a lovable phenomenon of a girl, her teacher and awful parents and school mistress. Winslet is everyone with aplomb, wit and an incredible voice range: at the same time the cruel Miss Trunchbull and Hortensia, the clever trickster. I heard many parts three or four times. Lovely, lovely experience. Dahl would have been satisfied, I am sure.

Hail Queen Kate, the best reader ever!!!

It is a very good and fun and funny I like how the trench ball grabbed Rupert hair and then wanted around until he said 2 7 are 14.

Extremely funny book
