I remember reading some of Roald Dahl's short stories when I was younger but had a hard time understanding it. Now that I'm a little older, I get why younger me couldn't really grasp his tales. 

They were written very delicately. They were told in a slow and steady voice that if you were to skim too fast, you'd miss out on the teeny tiny clues he planted here and there. They were never too on the nose. It was subtle. 

And once you got used to it, you'd recognise the horror in his stories. The creepy, sinking feeling in your gut when you know something is about to go very, very wrong.

I liked his writings very much, but I'm afraid some of the plots weren't very engaging. Therefore, I can only give him a little over 3 stars.
