Older guy told me he read Dahl (Matilda?) to his grandkid & passed the lesson that you gotta be careful who you trustā¦ are his works viewed negatively?
I donāt think universally. Similar to Rowling, his stuff is beloved and can certainly still be enjoyed but contains some totally wack bits. Even as a kid I picked up on how mean-spirited his writing was. But I think thatās also what makes it interesting to some people, itās got this macabe Grimmās quality to it.
