My Uncle Oswald by Roald Dahl


I have previously reviewed Switch Bitch which includes two short stories about Uncle Oswald. Now, Uncle Oswald is back!

This is a novel published about how Uncle Oswald became a multi millionaire. At the very young age of seventeen, he discovered the miraculous Beetles which would made all men and women go crazy about sex. Then, he made used of the sperm idea developed by a lecturer in his University, hoping to earn his first million before the age of thirty.

The book mostly told about his adventure with Yasmin, the teaser in his project, going around the world collecting sperms from Kings and geniuses. While the story is enjoyable, I find that it got too draggy as the process got repetitive. In the end, I got bored from it. Luckily this wasn't a long read. I am glad that the book is over.

As usual, there is an interesting twist at the end of the book and I was laughing out loud again at how Uncle Oswald's scheme got backfired.

I wouldn't really recommend this book if you want to read some hot and spicy stories. This is a book that can be passed but would be something interesting to read if you want to pick it up.
