preread review,:
This does not sound like the Roald Dahl I remember, Color me intrigued.

After reading,:
So yeah, okay, this isn't the Roald Dahl I remember.
But somehow it is. His style is all there: the dry humor, creepiness, and grossout shock value all play a big part in these stories.
They're just not for kids anymore, These four tales are all about sex, sex, SEX, I was actually expecting them to be a bit more titillating, but it turns out they're not explicit at all most of the action is implied and all the juicy bits happen "offscreen".


These stories are highly dated, though, This was published in the's, so I'm not too surprised, but the attitudes towards sex and gender roles as portrayed here are definitely of another era.
All of the male characters are highly misogynistic, and that's at their best many of them are downright rapey.
Still, they all have twist endings and the men who have taken advantage of women in the stories typically have their plans backfire and get some punishment.




"The Visitor"stars
Introduces the overthetop hedonist and spider enthusiast but germophobic Oswald Hendryks Cornelius along with the story of one of his trysts.
This was probably my favorite of the collection, Uncle Oswald is one of those people that would be absolutely insufferable in real lifea snobby womanizer who is completely selfabsorbedbut he is wonderfully amusing as a character to read about.


"The Great Switcheroo"stars
Two neighbors arrange to secretly have sex with each others' wives without the ladies finding out about it.
This goes about as well as you would expect,

"The Last Act"stars
Definitely my least favorite, This one isn't funny at all like the other three it's mostly just depressing, I found the first part boring and the ending vaguely confusing, Meh.

"Bitch"stars
Uncle Oswald is back and this time he's collaborating with a talented "nose" to create a perfume that will make a woman absolutely irresistable to any men who smell her.
As in, they will be overcome by animal instincts, rip her clothes off, and assault her, See what I mean about the rapey


Overall Roald Dahl's short stories for adults are amazing, terrifying, creepy, disturbing, sexy, disgusting, morally bankrupt, and wellwritten.
It's an entirely different side of the children's author, one that doesn't get enough exposure, I mean, I'd hate to traumatize children with this writing, but for adults who grew up with Roald

Dahl's books, this is a foray into something strange and disturbing and weirdly fun to read.
Well this book was something entirely different than I was used to when it comes to Roald Dahl!
Thesedark, sexual, but funny stories really showed me a different side of Dahl.


First of all, I absolutely love his writing style, His sentences are mostly short and easy to understand, but the way he describes things and put his thoughts into words is just utterly brilliant.
English isn't my native language, therefore it was incredibly pleasant to read this book,

Thestories The Visitor, The Great Switcheroo, The Last Act, and Bitch, are all full of dark humour, lots of sex and women, and unexpected plot twists.

The fact that most women in these stories are all seen as sex object didnt even bother me that much, because of course, its only fiction, and secondly, it just worked.

I never knew Roald Dahl had such darkness in him, but I can tell you this.
. . he has a pretty messed up mind,

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and gave itout ofstars!
This book is crrrazzzzy hilarious and upsetting fun.
It was also in the kids book section when I first found it, Very misogynic, quite chauvinistic, mildly entertaining,
Four very wellwritten short stories about "sex" written by a man who very likely had some major mommy issues.
All four stories have something in common: rape, that is perceived by the author/protagonist/rapist as deserved and mutuallyconsented intimacy.
This man clearly has no idea how woman experience sexuality, or even how female anatomy functions, This is by no means an explicit/graphic novel, as most of the action is implied, however unless I missed some great irony about the book, I found it very strange.
It made me wonder whether most men in the generation of thes were so ignorant, The fact that this man was a children's book author is chilling,
The only somewhat redeeming factor about this book was the author's writing style, Had he written on a subject not even tangent to women or feminine issues, I would have given it a higher rating.

Overall impression: Horrified. This is not Roald Dahl of the children books
This is the adult themed Roald Dahl.


Many people gave this collection of short storiesand less perhaps they executed YA themes and children stuff or they were shocked that an author like Mr.
Dahl would write some crude stories full of sex, lust, adultery, and misogyny,

The stories are well written, some have unexpected twists and some make you wonder an open ending.


We meet Uncle Oswald the world most famous fornicator and hisvolumes of intimate diaries and we get to read his last diary as is.
. .

We meet wife swappers/ swingers

We meet a woman and her first loveyears after they have left each other.
. . what would that night bring, . .

And we meet the bitch, . .

These stories were great, I had no idea Dahl wrote for adults but I'm happy I came across some of his stories.
This is perfect for a quick, entertaining read if you aren't too easily offended
