![]() ![]() ‘The Hitch-Hiker’ tells the story of a writer driving into London who picks up a hitchhiker on his way who turns out to be one of the most fascinating people he’s ever met. The story ends with the young boy disappearing and running away to swim with the turtles, and never being heard from again. He makes quite a scene and in that moment, the narrator realizes that the young boy can actually communicate with animals. While guests rejoice over the delicious meal they’re going to have, a young boy runs onto the beach and demands that they release the turtle. ![]() ‘The Boy who Talked With Animals’ is a story about a man vacationing in Jamaica who, while relaxing on the beach, encounters a group of fisherman corralling in a large beautiful turtle who is about to be cooked for the hotel’s supper that evening. Since there’s so few stories I can actually take the opportunity to talk about each of them in a little bit of detail. In this one, the stories vary in topic but not really in style. They’re not really related to each other, not like in Switch Bitch where you have all four stories related to sex. There are only seven stories in this collection, but each one has a gravitas to it that I really enjoyed. ![]() This is the last of the Roald Dahl books that I’ll be reviewing for a while, as I’ve moved on to reading some other things, but I really did enjoy this book so let’s get to it! ![]()
