Brought to you by Penguin.
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of The Twits by Roald Dahl, read by Richard Ayoade.
Mr Twit is a foul and smelly man with bits of cornflake and sardine in his beard.
Mrs Twit is a horrible old hag with a glass eye.
Together they make the nastiest couple you could ever hope not to meet.
Down in their garden, the ghastly, evil Twits keep Muggle-Wump the monkey and his family locked in a cage.
But not for much longer! Because the monkeys are planning to trick the terrible Twits and make their escape, once and for all....

As expected it was as enjoyable as every other Roald Dahl we have. The kids enjoy reading and re-reading each one.

Twit for Twat
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 2 October 2019Verified Purchase
This very slim novella is so full of laughs I wished I had discovered it as a child. I can imagine the hours of delight that rereading this would bring - as it did for my goddaughter when she was about 9 or 10. She used to ask to borrow this one and “The Witches” again and again from the local library. I wish I had bought them for her, but now that she’s 14, I think she’s outgrown them though I am confident she would want to revisit these delightful stories and their illustrations when she is older.
The story is simple - and the titular characters, Mr and Mrs Twit, are both monstrously horrible and play nasty practical jokes on each other that get increasingly mean and dangerous. The language is great for reading aloud, and the descriptions delightfully vivid. For a story this short, there is a colourful cast of characters, and they emerge later in the story. I like how Dahl establishes the two leads firmly in our minds before introducing us to the others. The chief of these are the Muggle-Wumps, the Twits’ family of pet monkeys from their days as circus trainers. I would love to read their backstory!
In fact, I think the brilliance of Dahl’s writing is how it manages to present all these characters, even the walk-on ones like the postman, and the unfortunate boys who almost get baked in a pie, fully formed, and how it gets the reader wondering about their backstories.

'The Twits'
The Twits is another excellent book by Roald Dahl. After reading this I think its personally better than James And The Giant Peach. It also looks like its a smaller book page-wise. Meaning there's not as many pages as James And The Giant Peach, but this book makes up for that by it being hilarious.
My favourite character is Mr Twit, he's a well-written character. Also he often insults his wife, Mrs Twit. He also has a long beard (which he hasn't shaved in donkeys years) which he often gets food stuck in.
The best part of the book is when the Monkeys (capital needed because they're an actual speaking character) get all of the Twit's furniture, and super-glue it onto the ceiling, making it look like they were upside down, but they actually weren't, but the Twits didn't realise that.
Overall excellent book for readers who like stories that have twists in.
Highly Recommended.

The Twits is amazing 🤩
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 8 March 2022Verified Purchase
The twits is about Mrs Twit and Mr Twits two gross poeple. They are horrid and it explains a lot about them in the book. But a sort summary is Mrs Twit and Mr Twit keep 4 monkeys in a cage in there back yard and let gust say the Twits get what they deserve. The illustrations are great there’s a almost a illustration on every page. There’s 112 pages. The books is amazing I’m an year 5 and I love it. I would recommend buying the book. 😀

Great book
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 16 July 2022Verified Purchase
I’ve loved the Ronald Dahl books since I was 6 or 7 and have just started buying them in Kindle to save some space on my bookshelves! This is a great story with the Quentin Blake illustrations included (at least on the app); it’s possibly just slightly below his truly great books like Matilda, The BFG, Danny TCOTW and The Witches (hence the 4 stars rather than 5) but still a brilliant story and well worth a read.

Amazing, why can’t we give it 10 stars? I think it should be 10. Can we read it again? Do you think he can add my prank to the story? Miss, I’m going to go home and ask my mum to buy me this book.
Thanks to Roald Dahl for inspiring a love of reading!
