ALEXANDRA JACOBS, THE NEW YORK TIMES
"Elegant but somewhat glancing ... Roald Dahl...may simply be too big to cancel ... Dennison recaps most of these extraordinary events without fuss, riffling carefully through letters, diaries and other volumes, from the looks of his endnotes, but conducting no fresh interviews; there are no new revelations that I can discern, but instead refined interpretation ... In Dennison's telling, Dahl's contradictions are beautifully illustrated but not particularly interrogated ... I think [Dahl] would have liked Dennison's writing style, lush but clipped, with such phrases as 'the ubiquity of caprice' and 'buoyant with slang,' full of a reader's zest. This is not a potted biography, but it is a politely pruned one, idealism washing over the ick."
