Indeed. You are the first to say something negative about Roald Dahl.

I never really had a favourite author, and I think like most writers and other things, Dahl's books have both good and bad parts - good parts: how he came up with creating names like snozzcumber,  knids, frobscottle,  etc., and ideas of human beings tasting of different flavours from different countries, and so many clever ideas for different (some impossible) kinds of chocolates - those things can be quite interesting to read about. But there were bad (not very enjoyable) points in some books too, like giants eating humans, witches killing children, a boy turned into a mouse and not changed back at the end.

His book of this film was kind of a 'read once only' book to me.
