Why people recommend it
Matilda by Roald Dahl is a classic children's novel about a gifted young girl who loves reading, overcomes neglectful parents, and uses her intellect and telekinetic powers to outwit the cruel adults around her, notably the tyrannical headmistress Miss Trunchbull. Parsa Lotfi recommended the audiobook version on The Book Review, calling the reading fantastic. On the same podcast, Elisabeth Egan discussed reading the book aloud to her son for the first time and highlighted the touching friendship Matilda forms with a local librarian who notices her household's indifference to literature. Megyn Kelly mentioned the book on The Megyn Kelly Show during a conversation about editorial alterations to children's literature, noting Matilda's fondness for reading within the story. Grace Beverley also brought up the novel on The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett, referencing Miss Trunchbull when discussing her own harsh inner critic and the unreasonable expectations she places on herself.
