Unlike Matilda which surprised me a little (a little different but not much than Dahl's normal style) James and the Giant Peach fell along much similar lines to the other two Dahl books I've read recently.
Of course, I've been acquainted with the book and even seen parts of the movie but have never actually read the story. For some reason most of Dahl's books begin with a poor child whose loving parents die in some tragic accident and are raised by horrible monsters or the parents are monsters in the first place. Matilda is one of these children.
Some touches of the positives exist in this story and I loved how bright and humble this little girl is. :D I loved the story and strongly recommend it.
