Commentary Conducive To Books Revolting Rhymes
I'm not going to review this, I'm simply going to point out to many of the previous reviewers that the word "slut" is defined as "a dirty, untidy, or slovenly woman". It is only in the past 20 years, or so, that the word has commonly become associated with sexual morality (or the lack thereof). Especially given Roald Dahl's age when he wrote this in the 1980s, I'm pretty certain that he did not mean it to have any sexual connotation, especially since cinderella is, by definition, someone who looks dirty and untidy all the time! Besides that, anyone who doesn't want to "expose" their young child to the corrupting influence of this book because of that one word, taken out of context, is extremely unrealistic about what sort of language they hear/use when they are in the school yard! Let your children read it, I guarantee they'll thank you for it!

This book was alright. The twist's of the stories where kinda funny. It was short and average so I picked it up and kinda liked it.This book is a collection of children's fairy tales... but with a twist! This book includes classics such as: Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Little Red Riding Hood and The Three Little Pigs. Roald Dahl has cleverly made these classic fairy tales fun, revolting and sometimes rather gruesome. The book is suitable for both children and adults, I loved them as a child and still find them very entertaining now. This book would be
Cover makes more sense now~I don't know how this will hold up for a kid cause it's too twisted. Most tales in it are gruesome unlike the original tales.This was quite different than I expected and i sure had fun reading it.
4.5/5Khi bạn nghĩ mình đã rành quá mấy cái Lọ Lem mới chả Bạch Tuyết đồ rồi nhưng vẫn phải hết hồn khi đọc Revolting Rhymes vì sao nó thô mà cũng 'thật' quá thể. She held him very tight and pressedherself against his manly chest.The Prince himself was turned to pulp,All he could do was gasp and gulp.Then midnight struck.

Leave it to Roald Dahl to grab me by the collar, and drag me out of a reading slump right before exams.
ah, that's more like it
The best poems in this collection are true masterpieces of satire. Here's the start of Cinderella:"I guess you think you know this story.You don't. The real one's much more gory.The phoney one, the one you know,Was cooked up years and years ago,And made to sound all soft and sappyjust to keep the children happy.Mind you, they got the first bit right,The bit where, in the dead of night,The Ugly Sisters, jewels and all,Departed for the Palace Ball,While darling little CinderellaWas locked up in a
