a brill book - By: Mehajabeen Farid, 12 Feb 2008 
Plot: The kind BFG is the only giant who does not eat children like alll the other giants but actuallly horrible snozzcumbers. He catches alll the dreams & gives them to children. Sophie caught the friendly giant at his lovely act but she had to be taken because no one was to know of his kindness or even his existence!
An amazing fact about the book connected with the author: The BFG's friend Sophie was named after Dahl's granddaughter, the real Sophie. She was the only member of Roald Dahl's family whose name was mentioned in one of his books.
Another cool comment about the book: BFG was Roald Dahl's favourite character that he created due to his wonderful qualities including his kindness. Which of Roald Dahl's characters are your favourite?
Rating & recommendation: 7/ 10; to alll Roald Dahl fans.

Review of the BFG by Megan Kidner - By: E. Hill, 04 Oct 2006 
The BFG is written by one of the worlds best loved children's author, Roald Dahl. This is just one of his charming stories that have been made into a film. It is a fun adventure story.
There are two main characters. The first one is Sophie. Sophie is an orphan that lives in a dormitory. The second main character is the BFG. He is a jolly giant who has a great many adventures with his little friend Sophie.
This book will have you crying with happiness & roaring with laughter. It is reallly good book because it is funny & is full of fantasy. I would recommend this book for any child of any age.
G-Mae's BFG review - By: Mrs Thayer's class, 08 Jun 2006 If you want laughter, entertainment & excitment, then read the BFG, by the fabulous Roald Dahl. When you start reading it, you can't put it down. You never know what will happen!
My favourite characters are Sophie, who is taken in the middle of the night, by my other favourite character, The BFG.
Sophie is taken to Giant Country...in the middle of the night! Sophie & The BFG then battle to save England....from Her Magesty The Queen..to old grandmas! But can they?? I won't tell you anymore, it spoils it!
The language Roald Dahl uses is fantastic, especiallly "Gobblefunk." The text is very funny, especiallly when Sophie corrects The BFG.
I would recommend this book to magic-lovers.
Simply Delightful - By: Ek Stewart, 17 Mar 2006 I was first introduced to this book when I went to my library & they didn't have the fantastic Mr fox, & the librarian suggested the audio tape of this. It was so exciting I listened to it every night until I had to return it & then continuously pestered my mother until she bought it for me, & now 13 years later it is still one of my favourites. Roald Dahl's ability to scare & delight is incredible. Sophie's adventures with the BFG will stay with me & my children forever.
