"It was a good book because it wasn't what I expected "

"This is the least favorite for me of the roald Dahl books so far. In this story, George lives with his parents and grandmother. She is a grumpy, mean old woman and so George decides to replace her usual medicine, which, according to George, doesn't seem to work anyway. He throws a variety of house supplies, and other hardware items into a big pot and feeds it to his grandma as her medicine in hopes she will be nicer. <br/><br/>I won't say more in case you want to read it, but it's not really a loss if you don't."
