Boy was entertaining. We got to see what Dahl was as a kid. Pranks with friends, family life, and other events that were likely inspiration for his books.Going Solo was a lot heavier, because most of it takes place during WWII when Dahl was a fighter pilot. It really makes you appreciate his books, because you realize that he was lucky to have survived the war! The book was also a great topic of discussion with my kid. We talked about what happened during the war, but also about how countries rebuilt and recovered after the war. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great fun *by E***E on Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2021* I guess this is aimed at a Young Adult audience so that took some getting used to. And as an adult I do prefer adult oriented prose.The first volume is fun, poignant and grim by turns. It is somewhat marred but the repetitive sections detailing the harsh corporal punishment of caning meted out to him in the boarding schools he attended. But he states at the very beginning that his goal was to only record the most memorable experiences.The second volume is a real joy. Real 'boys own adventure' stuff. Wonderful! Superb! Most fun I've had in ages. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An hysterically funny memoir of Dahl's childhood *by D***S on Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2014* No wonder Dahl wrote such wonderfully awful characters as Ms. Trunchbull (sp?)--he had real-life inspiration! I read his account of getting his tonsils out to my 6th grade students each year to sell them on this book: with no anesthetic, his doctor said, "Open your mouth," and when Dahl did, he darted in with a scalpel and snick-snick, Dahl spit out two globs of flesh and a lot of blood. Well-ah, a tonsillectomy! And the scene of his sister taking the family for a drive in their first car! Oh my god! She didn't know how to turn it or stop it, but she let the little kids persuade her to go faster and faster! Bones are broken! It's nuts! And his teachers. Wow. Corporal punishment with a cane. I like to read the description of being whipped with a cane to my 6th graders when they complain about how strict we are on them so they can realize how good they actually have it. They're so aghast that they argue over who gets to read the whole book. Music to my ears. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/105548254-boy-and-going-solo-kindle-edition](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/105548254-boy-and-going-solo-kindle-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
