Brings back memories
Exceptional story however a little hard to listen to. Parts were softly spoken, while other parts were too loud, not her best performance.

7YR OLD STEP-GRAND DAUGHTER'S 1ST AUDIO BOOK
I gave Matilda (the book) and the audio book along with an iPod to my 7 yr old step-granddaughter for Christmas. She knew the story of Matilda but didn't have the book herself so I thought I would get her both the book and the audio book too. It was her first experience with an audio book and I encouraged her to read-along with the book and audio. She loved it. She said the lady (Kate Winslet) reading the story to her is very good and her voice is lovely. I think audio books, along with the physical book is a great way to encourage children to read. Hopefully she'll be like me and love her audio books and have a vast collection like I do.

The cutest book and most marvelous performance. English is my second language and I hadn't had the opportunity of indulging myself in Roald Dahl's world as a child or a youngster. I am in heavens now!

The best combination
The story is as perfect as always, but the thing that shines the most is Kate Winslet's accent work. Every character is distinct, and each character accent does not bleed into the narrator's voice at all. I finally understand why Kate Winslet has like eight Oscar nominations, I really understand now.

Fantastic story and narration is excellent!!
We absolutely loved this audio book!!! Myself, my kids and even my husband got so carried away with the story on our long road trip, we couldn’t stop listening!
The way the story was narrated by Kate Winslet made it even more brilliant! I am sure it wouldn’t have been the same if someone else read the story.
It is a MUST listen! We were very sad when we finished the book.

Amazing performance
This is an amazing performance in beautiful British. If you struggle with British English, the different voices might be difficult to understand, though.
The book is an ageless one, suitable for people of all ages.

My second-grader ESL boy loves it!!!
This audio is fantastic that my second grader ESL boy loves it and he needs to listen to it everyday before going to sleep. When he gets home, he turns on its' Amazon fire immediately in order to keep himself immersed in the story. It's really worthwhile buying the service that audible provided. I would recommend it to my friends for sure.

Great first audio book!
This is my first audio book. Even though I had read matilda and watched the movie many times, it is beautiful every time I read it. Also , the narration was done beautifully. Still, if I could change a few bits, some parts were read too softly. Other than that, it was perfect!(^o^)b
I highly recommend it.

The perfect storybook, for kids AND adults.
A masterpiece from Roald Dahl, brought to life by an incredible performance from Kate Winslet. The only thing missing are Quentin Blake's memorable illustrations! Definitely a must-have title in any book lover's collection.

Where does Matilda rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This beautiful audio book kept my 5 year old hooked for a couple of hours! He was so engrossed, it was just as much fun watching him and observing his reactions!

What's not to love?
What did you like most about Matilda?
I love every bit of the book. It's thoroughly entertaining and Kate Winslet was spectacular.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Matilda?
Several. I love Mrs Trunchball's encounter in class with smart Nigel 'unless-you-want my-middle-name' Hicks; the part where Lavender put the newt in her cup of water, and of course Matilda.
I think this is the best of Roald Dahl's books.
What about Kate Winslet’s performance did you like?
Everything, she made all the parts come to life.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I laughed all the way through.
Any additional comments?
My children also loved it.
