Book description
Let's be honest: Matilda's parents are the kind of people who'd cancel your birthday party because you asked for cake before dessert. And Miss Trunchbull? She's the school principal who probably thinks "bullying" is a fun team-building exercise. Roald Dahl, the man who once flew fighter planes and invented chocolate, knew exactly how to weaponize childhood misery into something wildly, brilliantly fun. And the audiobook? It's like having a tiny, furious genius whispering revenge plans directly into your ear.
The narrator (seriously, whoever did the voice of Matilda's inner monologue-probably someone who's had to deal with a Trunchbull in real life) nails it: that perfect blend of deadpan sass and simmering fury. You hear Matilda mentally calculating the exact angle she'd need to throw a pencil at her parents' heads while simultaneously reading Great Expectations in the background. It's not just a story about a girl who reads too much; it's a manifesto for every kid who's ever been told they're "too much." And Dahl, that gloriously cynical Welshman who wrote about witches and chocolate factories, gets it: the real villains aren't the monsters in the book-they're the adults who don't see the monster in themselves.
Forget the "dark humor" label. This is relief humor. When Matilda finally uses her mind to outsmart the Trunchbull, it's less "magic" and more "finally, someone with a brain in this room." The audiobook makes you want to stand up in your own boring classroom and say, "Actually, I can do this." And yes, her parents are still idiots, but now you've got a new, slightly more exciting way to describe them: "The kind of people who'd rather watch paint dry than read a book." Dahl never wrote for kids despite being a complicated human-he wrote for the kid inside everyone who ever felt invisible. And the audiobook? It's the perfect reminder that sometimes, the best revenge is not just being smart, but being heard. You'll laugh, you'll cheer, and you'll definitely check your own parents' social media for signs of suspiciously high-grade chocolate consumption. (Just saying.)
