My eyes still ache if I read or write much - (Pg 113)


Going Solo by Roald Dahl picks up where Boy left off. It is quite a different set of tales I can tell you.

In Boy, there are a lot of characters and situations where you can see Dahl has drawn from later to write his magnificent children's fiction. Going Solo however is much more 'grown up' and the stories, while unbelievable, are not the types of things that make good children's fiction.

I for one am amazed that Roald Dahl survived the situations he faced and was able to escape the war with his life, let alone come back from what he saw and the situations he faced and write such wonderful stories.

An easy and very interesting read, you must read it for yourself.
