EVERYONE Has Read This but Me - The Catch-Up Book Club discussion

This begins a group discussion of our Modern book selection, Matilda by Roald Dahl, nominated by Theresa.
Here you can comment, without spoilers, on any aspects of the book, either before, during, or after reading it.

I was obsessed with the movie as a child, and never really thought about it having been a book first. I'm curious to try it!

I love Matilda, awesome kid!

One of the books I have very fond childhood memories of. I wanted to be Matilda.
