I can't get enough of Roald Dahl! I'm in the middle of too many books right now, but I couldn't resist when I came across this treasure at the library!
Dahl is a marvelous storyteller--simply brilliant!--but I sometimes wonder if I would enjoy his adult short stories as much if I hadn't first loved his children's books as a young girl. (This--which is probably true for most of us--is actually a reversed order. Dahl began his writing career with these short stories, and most of his children's clas...more

There are a few weak stories in here -- The Last Act and The Surgeon: oy -- but for the most part this collection is definitely one to pick up if you're a Dahl fan. A lot of the classics are in here, like Lamb to the Slaughter and Man from the South, but so are a lot you've probably never read. The stories are in chronological order, complete with parallel a time line showing what was going on in Dahl's life and in the rest of the world when each story was published, which alone is worth the pri...more

At nearly 900 pages this book is a force to be reckoned with. And being as it's a collection of short stories, it's not meant to be read all at once. If you check it out from the library you may need to renew it once or twice. The stories are in chronological order. Most of the first ones about about flying, reflecting Dahl's experiences as a pilot in the RAF during World War II. The stories are of varying lengths, but all are of about the right size to read in bed at night before you fall aslee...more

To many readers around the world, Roald Dahl is known as a inventive, witty writer of children's stories such as 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory', 'The Witches', 'Matilda', 'The Fantastic Fox', 'The BFG', 'James and the Giant Peach', just to list a few. He is also, however, equally prolific in adult literature, especially short stories. Dahl began writing around the same time as Ray Bradbury, and his short stories have that same feel as early Bradbury...not in the style of prose, but in the d...more

I remember, as a child, enjoying Roald Dahl's children's books so much that I eagerly began to look for more of his work. I eventually found a collection of his short stories in the general fiction section for adults and gladly took it home with me, despite my secret suspicion that the library had misfiled his book. After reading various stories, including 'Bitch' and 'The Great Switcheroo,' I realized too late that the book was, indeed, filed correctly, and that through my curiosity I had stumb...more

Like most people, I am very familiar with Dahl's Children's books. They are still favorites of mine and I would think this is the same with most people. I knew he wrote adult books as they used to give his books away with Tea back in the 90's. And after they finished with the kids books, they gave away 'Tales Of The Unexpected'.
As a kid I always really struggled to get into them, I found them very dry and forced myself to finish one of them. Which was why I was a bit hesitant about this collec...more

Roald Dahl proves himself to be even more multi-faceted than the tales spun in The BFG, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Matilda.
He has an uncanny ability to draw the reader into a story, leaving the discovery of the ending, whether humorous, horrifying or just strange unrevealed until the very end.

Pure delight. /shivers
Roald Dahl furthered my understanding as to the writerly shape of story.
I enjoyed recognizing how much of Dahl's biography is present within so many of these stories. You don't need to be a Dahl fan to enjoy this collection. You just need to be a fan of a good story.
From a reader's point of view, I'd probably give this 4/5. But when I combine my writer's brain reaction and my reader's brain reaction I have no choice but to score this 5/5

So much fun to have returned to fiction after my recent non-fiction binge. Loved it! I think he's just as twisted and clever a writer of adult stories as he is of children's books. I think it's amazing how he can consistently generate characters that are ridiculous caricatures of people, but that still somehow feel very true to life. Not every story was a winner, but I think that's to be expected in a collection this large.

Well-known for his books for children, Dahl is a wonderful writer of stories. His stories are delicious: macabre, twisted, well-crafted vehicles for character and suspense. Best of the lot: 'Man from the South,' 'The Way Up to Heaven,' 'Taste.'
Roald Dahl (September 13, 1916 to November 23, 1990) was a British author who penned 19 children's books over his decades-long writing career. In 1953 he published the best-selling story collection Someone Like You and married actress Patricia Neal. He published the popular book James and the Giant Peach in 1961. In 1964 he released another highly successful work, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which was later adapted for two films.

Dahl will always be remembered for his children's stories, which is a shame because this collection proves he was one of the most masterful short story writers.
The darkness that is evident in some of his work for kids, who can forget the fate of some of the greedy protagonists in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?, is witnessed in its full glory here.

I wish that Dahl had published the full Uncle Oswald diaries... It's fascinating to read his adult stories in sequence, starting with boys own war stories through tales of martial revenge, crime and increasingly licentious fantasy. It's also good to see him return to some of the same characters throughout the book. The collection would be good to dip into but I'd really recommend soaking up the introduction and then reading through each tale in sequence.

The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars, is I haven't read them all! Wonderful little stories. Witty in a Classic Alfred Hitchcock Show kind of way. (Some of these were on that show)
Should be enjoyed by anyone that likes, for example, Saki, or John Collier (Fancies and Goodngihts).

Dahl is a master of a short story, hands down. In this collection you get everything - from his trademark scary tales to lesser known war memoirs, which i found particularly compelling. One personal note - that's the only book i ever read that mentions Haifa, the city i called home for 10 years. Apparently, Dahl was stationed there during the WWII.

It took a while but I finally made it through this book. Very long and also very good. I was reading a story between each book I read.
The war stories at the beginning were not my favorite but once he found his voice it is easy to track many of these stories to the children's tales he became famous for.
Highly recommended!

I love Roald Dahl. Great stories - eclectic, strange, and entertaining.
It was a very enjoyable read and it was fun to see him develop as a writer. The first short stories are sad, simply put, by the middle they turn devilish - there's always a message at the end of the story - a fable; and by the end they're enjoyable because of their quirky happy endings.
It took me quite a while to read as there are a lot of pages - it's the longest book I have ever read - and so my mind drifted from the book once or twice when I was super busy. The book is rather compact, and ea...more

After the RAF pilot stories, they really pick up and are filled with wonderful dark humor and twist endings. However, there are many little details during the book that prop up a red flag for sexism. In 'The Great Switcheroo' two men have sex with each other's wives without them even knowing. In 'The Last Act', a widow is told she will never be truly happy unless she gets herself a man, and then later when she changes her mind halfway through sex, the man continues on, forcing her down.

I love Dahl’s short stories more than his children’s books. The settings were just right, and everything would go along seeming perfectly normal, until it went wild in such a matter-of-fact way, you were all in. Some reminded me of O. Henry stories, and others (most) reminded me of Twilight Zone episodes.
I loved this. Didn't want the stories to end. A few of them fell a bit flat, but the vast majority were excellent. I think there were about 5 which I'd seen as episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents or the Alfred Hitchcock Hour. It made reading them the more enjoyable. If you love short stories and haven't read these, please do yourself a favor and pick this collection up soon.
Fantastic. Every story was engrossing. Many are sticking with me and causing me to think about them at random times and shiver. He had such a flair for making the everyday just a titch sinister but also humorous.
To buy.

I think Dahl is on the whole a great short-story writer; he pretty consistently delivers very inventive plots with memorable characters & surprising or shocking endings. But not all the stories in this collection were good. In particular, I thought most of the war stories were boring, repetitive, and kind of smug (with the exception of 'Beware of the Dog,' which is genius and very suspenseful). There are also some very negative portrayals of women (some of which are quite sexually explicit);...more

I think what I found most amazing about Dahl's short stories, aside from the twisted sense of humor, has got to be his uncanny ability to craft each sentence in a way that makes you eager to read the next and to ultimately find out what happens in the end. And he never seemed to disappoint. Absolutely amazing.

Um yeah, I lost this book at some hotel in LA, so I never got to finish it. That said, I think that Roald Dahl is a brilliant writer. That he can so seamlessly transition from whimsical children's books to witty short stories for adults is a testament to his skill and versatility. Anyone who's read his children's books should definitely give his adult stories a try!
I loved all of Roald Dahl's books when I was younger, so when this collection came out last fall I knew I had to have it. I pick it up from time to time when I need a good short story. The stories I've read so far have been very different than the books I read as a child, but very enjoyable nonetheless.

I originally had to borrow this book from the library for a class. However, i loved the book so much i purchased it from Amazon.com. This is an amazing book with many short stories that can be read any time.

When I learned that children's author Roald Dahl had also written lewd and violent stories for adults, I was not a little disturbed. I'm tagging the complete collected stories, but I've only read some. Those I read were good.

Roald Dahl was clearly a balla. 99% of the stories of genius, simple and dark. The one that actually has a happy ending is just as good.
Most of these are fairly dated...but the dark humor is timeless. Almost as timeless as this review.
