Скачать или смотреть James and the Giant Peach Book Review - Fruit for Thought

James and the Giant Peach is one of Roald Dahl’s strangest, funniest, and most unexpectedly dark children’s books — and today I’m diving into the wild plot, the bizarre imagery, the flying peach, the traumatized kid, and all the chaotic energy this story brings. From killer rhinos to giant insects to a peach being carried across the ocean by birds, this book is somehow even weirder than you remember.

In this review, I break down what works, what doesn’t, the moments that scarred us as kids, the comedy you probably missed, and whether James and the Giant Peach still holds up for modern readers. I also share my favorite lines, hidden details, and why this book feels more emotional (and more unhinged) when you read it as an adult.

If you love book reviews, childhood classics, Roald Dahl stories, or just chaotic adventures with questionable physics, this one’s for you.

Thanks for watching — and let me know your favorite Roald Dahl book in the comments!
