Unfortunately, this one may be one of my least favourite Dahl stories. There's a lot to it, with monkeys and birds and really not nice people. And the introduction to the characters is pretty intriguing, but overall it's not a pleasant book. It's funny, but not fun. I like that the meanies get their just desserts at the end, but it's still a tough story to justify.
But it's a super quick read, and worked nicely as a filler between longer, more attention heavy reads.
