'A true genius . . . Roald Dahl is my hero' - David Walliams
Mr Twit is a foul and smelly man with bits of cornflake and sardine in his beard.
Mrs Twit is a horrible old hag with a glass eye.
Together they make the nastiest couple you could ever hope not to meet.
Down in their garden, the ghastly, evil Twits keep Muggle-Wump the monkey and his family locked in a cage.
But not for much longer! Because the monkeys are planning to trick the terrible Twits and make their escape, once and for all . . .
Roald Dahl is the world's NUMBER ONE storyteller!
And now you can listen to THE TWITS and other Roald Dahl audiobooks read by some very famous voices, including Kate Winslet, David Walliams and Steven Fry - plus there are added squelchy soundeffects from Pinewood Studios!

From the Inside Flap
Mr. and Mrs. Twit are the smelliest, nastiest, ugliest people in the world. They hate everything-except playing mean jokes on each other, catching unsuspecting birds to put in their bird pies, and making their caged monkeys, the Muggle-Wumps, stand on their heads all day. But the Muggle-Wumps have had enough. With the help of Roly-Poly Bird, they set out to get some well-deserved revenge. --This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition.

amazing story that you almost can see and touch inside the story, on the cover it says "Roald Dahl No.1 story teller" and I think it is totally true. If I pick one favourite book I will pick this one.

The story is simple - and the titular characters, Mr and Mrs Twit, are both monstrously horrible and play nasty practical jokes on each other that get increasingly mean and dangerous. The language is great for reading aloud, and the descriptions delightfully vivid. For a story this short, there is a colourful cast of characters, and they emerge later in the story. I like how Dahl establishes the two leads firmly in our minds before introducing us to the others. The chief of these are the Muggle-Wumps, the Twits’ family of pet monkeys from their days as circus trainers. I would love to read their backstory!
In fact, I think the brilliance of Dahl’s writing is how it manages to present all these characters, even the walk-on ones like the postman, and the unfortunate boys who almost get baked in a pie, fully formed, and how it gets the reader wondering about their backstories.

The Twits is another excellent book by Roald Dahl. After reading this I think its personally better than James And The Giant Peach. It also looks like its a smaller book page-wise. Meaning there's not as many pages as James And The Giant Peach, but this book makes up for that by it being hilarious.
My favourite character is Mr Twit, he's a well-written character. Also he often insults his wife, Mrs Twit. He also has a long beard (which he hasn't shaved in donkeys years) which he often gets food stuck in.
The best part of the book is when the Monkeys (capital needed because they're an actual speaking character) get all of the Twit's furniture, and super-glue it onto the ceiling, making it look like they were upside down, but they actually weren't, but the Twits didn't realise that.
Overall excellent book for readers who like stories that have twists in.
Highly Recommended.
