Great story for experienced readers

Never listened/read a children's book before so was not used to the format of writing.

Never read this as a child

A marvelous little book that I didn't have a chance to read as a child, but enjoyed nonetheless as an adult.

fantastic story for children!

this is very exciting story. I love Roald Dahl's books. I'll let my daughter read his books.

The best book ever

I am 8 and I love all the Roald Dahl books!

It was really well read and I listened to it in 3 days. I had to keep asking my mummy for her I pad to listen to the rest.

Best book!

This book i amazing. Great book for all age! It shows that good things come out of bad stuff like Matilda wouldn't of met miss honey if she didn't go to the horrible school. I say all should read this!

Amazing audiobook!

I love the movie and always wanted to read the book, but lack of time always got in the way. Audible saved me.

The best thing ever

I love Matilda it is a great book and I love it and my sister loves it too and it makes my heart beat so much.

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.

All good except the echo

You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Secrets of the book

I love it it is so good because it has lots of chapters plus good story parts

The likes and dislikes

The story. It self was a little scarry. If kids are going to read this... I can't amajin what they would say. I think the narator could have Benin a little more expressive but other than that... The book was great!

Loved the characters

Pandora' book...yes book, not box. Clever idea behind how it works. The narrator was awesome... Really felt like he was the main character telling the story. Great friendship story and also dealing with special needs kids. Would totally recommend to students for adventure and good vs evil.

Good Story, Subpar reading

I don't like Pittu's narration. His voices for some characters sound too similar, and for others, they don't make sense. Atticus Rosenbloom is ten years old and is described as hyper. Why would Pittu choose a voice that makes Atticus sound like a wheezing old man?

this is the best book ever published

The book makes you think that you are there .... .... .... .... ... ... .

THIS IS NOT BOOK 2!

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I got very confused when I first started listening to this after listening to book 1: The Maze of Bones. It is very clear within a couple minutes of starting chapter 2 that there is a whole book missing between The Maze of Bones and Unstoppable. I don't know why Audible has it mislabeled, but this is actually book 3 in the series; One False Note is the second book.

What could Jeff Hirsch have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

My problem is strictly with Audible labeling this as the second book. I'm sure that once I have finished the real second book that I will enjoy this one.

How could the performance have been better?

What little I listened to was good.

Could you see The 39 Clues: Unstoppable, Book 2 being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

They would probably need to use multiple books to make a good movie, but it could work.

GOOD SECOND BOOK

I enjoyed all the 39 Clues books. They do get kind of same-o-same, but for kids it can be exciting.
