My Uncle Oswald - Roald Dahl

This is a fascinating book, a good read and one I encourage anyone reading this blog to go and try for themselves. Most people are only aware oh his books for children; from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to Matilda, the Twits or James and the Giant Peach. You might even have read "Boy" or "Going Solo" which are autobiographies of a sort.
But he wrote a plethora of other stories that are for adults.
Switch Bitch, The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar, Skin, Kiss Kiss and My Uncle Oswald.

It's a story that is vibrant, well written, with a strong voice of the character Oswald.

A good 4.6/5 I think and I will probably read it again at some point. (Even though this must ahve been my third reading.)
