Is a book about a little girl who has a genius or something similar to make herself learn to read and make complicated maths.
Taking the unrealistic ideas brought in the story, there are some good ideas to reflect on,
- The fact that Matilda was always happy no matter how people, specially her family, treated her.
- How Matilda found a great interest on books and who that keep her entertained and curious.
- She didn't want to be like her mother, a wife trophy, or a thief like her father.
- She was kind and honest, she also fought to defend herself which is a great deal for a little girl like her.
A kid would find this book more enjoyable that I did but is a good book. It is 3.5
A must read book!
