Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Some crude humor mixed with friendship and a moral ending
THE TWITS is a funny and enjoyable little yarn which stinks of some gross humor and yet warms the readers with stories of friendship and helping each other as well as a couple of moral lessons in the tradition of Aesop.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Twits is the best!

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - An Awful Book
I have read most of Roald Dahl's books and this has got to be the worst of them. The plot goes no where fast and the characters are indeed twits like the title implies. Good thing it was so short or there would be no way I would have finished it ever!!!!! I hate this book don't go near it with a 39 and 1/2 foot pole.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Hilarious!!!!
The book is very funny, with two very nasty people getting their just desserts at the hands of some mischievous monkeys. Really entertaining!!!!!!!
