No, the experiences I remember were largely positive. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 06/10/2010 03:10:38 AM
I don't recall adoring Mathilda or The BFG, although looking back on The BFG I'm remembering some things I really did like.

He wrote some stuff for adults, though, and I don't think I read much of those. I vaguely recall an autobiographical thing he wrote, and it was very interesting. Very British. He was probably my first introduction into British culture, come to think of it.
