the bfg by the big friendly giant

what was your favourite part of this book?
- the ending.  not the fact that it was over, but the trick at the end where the book is actually written by roald dahl but the story pretends that it was written by the bfg himself.

if you were a people-eating giant, what would your name be?
- bonecruncher.

the idea of giants sneaking around at night and snatching dozens of children from their beds and chewing them up is probably the most horrid thing i can imagine.  were you ever scared or grossed out?
- no.  if it was real i would be scared, but no.   i can't remember anything that grossed me out.  except when the butler said that "maybe there is still a bit of dried blood left on that sword" so they had to clean it before the bfg used it as a breakfast knife.

do you think a place like giant country could exist?
- yes.  i would get there by asking the bfg.

other characters seemed to have a hard time understanding the bfg when he talks,  did you?
- no.  because i knew a lot of words already and i knew how they really went.  like how he says gnat instead of cat.

pretend i'm someone who hasn't read this book.  convince me to read it.
- hey!  there's this awesome book!  you should read it.  it is about a big friendly giant.

i don't know that i'm convinced yet.
- well, they stop evil giants from eating, as the bfg would call it "human beans".  which are actually human beings.

yuck.  are you sure i'm going to like it?
- yes!  because it is great and really funny.
