The Matilda, written by Roard Dahl, is not only the tile of this book but also the name of main character. After I read this book I could know the meaning of teacher's smile that he gave to me when I chose this book. Because I came to America about one and half year ago, I have read only a few books. So when I read the English book, I had a lot of troubles. However, while I was reading this book, I could enjoy my reading.Matilda is a little girl whose age is five, and she is a literary glutton. She could also calculate 14 times 19 by only 1 second, which means she is a genius that could appear once in a century.
