Although I am still currently reading "Me Before You," I thought I would talk about another book I am interested in reading afterwards. "The Authorized Biography of Roald Dahl" is an extremely detailed biography of the famous writer Roald Dahl, who captivated millions of children's hearts with stories like "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," "The Witches," and "Matilda." And when I say extremely detailed, I mean it. The entire biography is written by someone who knew Dahl personally and spent many months with him learning all about his life, from beginning to end. This biography apparently will delve deeper in what made Roald Dahl such an incredible author. It follows the difficulties of his childhood, with harsh school masters and their unyielding whipping canes. It will tell you about Dahl's experiences in World War II, and, of course, his complex and not always easy writing career. It is a very long biography, so once I finish reading the book I am currently on and begin this one, it will be awhile before I can give a review of it. But I am extremely excited to read all about one of my favorite childhood authors and see how he became the creative genius he was.
