"This story was about a couple named Mr. and Mrs. Twit. These two individuals were some of the most disgusting people I have read about (in a childish funny sort of way). Not only were they disgusting, but they played practical jokes on each other- most of which I found hilarious! Of course, not only were these two people horrible to each other, but they abused animals that they came in contact with (which I did not find so funny). However, a children's book always end with the animals gaining their freedom and the Twits getting what they deserve.
This was a great book- the only trouble was that as I was reading this book, I realized that the Twits seemed familiar. Then it hit me...I know the Twits. Doesn't everybody, at some point or other, know a Twit??"
"While I'm a huge fan of Roald Dahl, this was not one of my favorite books. The characters are extremely outlandish, but also are so cruel that I felt so disgusted I didn't really want to keep on reading. There wasn't as much humor, I feel, as there typically is in Roald Dahl stories. I know kids like this stuff, but I think that I could relate more to books like Mathilda and The Witches.
The book follows Mr. and Mrs. Twit and their relationship with one another. The pair play silly/ "nasty" tricks on one another throughout the book such as using fake eyeballs to scare each other in their food. At the end of the story they get what they deserve...
"Pasangan Twits adalah suami istri kejam yang senang menyiksa apapun termasuk hewan-hewan di sekitar mereka. Mereka berdua juga senang menyakiti satu sama lain. Ny. Twits pernah memasukkan cacing ke dalam spaghetti Tn. Twits. Tidak mau kalah Tn. Twits juga membalas dengan menerbangkan Ny.Twits ke angkasa hingga tidak pulang berhari-hari.
Sampai tiba hari pembalasan dari hewan-hewan yang pernah disakiti oleh mereka..."
"children's books are such a delightful part of literature ... no matter the reader's age. and Roald Dahl's books are, indeed, unique. add to his creative take a reading by the talented Simon Callow and the reader has a truly winning combination. The Twits take on a life all its own; the reader will swear that s/he knows the Twits. highly recommended. preview, yes. but best enjoyed with an 8 or 9 year old who is totally NOT irony-impaired."
