Summary: This book is too cute! It would be great for studying European geography. Those who have read Harry Potter could compare the boarding schools and teachers in each. Be warned: if you are squeamish, there are three serious injuries and a dead rat early in the book.

So I finished Dahl's memoir. I was pleasantly surprised. I kinda expected it to be written as a children's book, but it was quite readable. If you've read any of his works you can easily see the inspiration. I wish we had more boarding schools in America. They might be worth a try. All in all, I'd say it was good. 4 out of five stars.
