Book Description
A shy man, Mr Hoppy has only the courage for polite conversation with Mrs Silver, as she tends her pet tortoise Alfie, on the balcony below. But, when he learns that her dearest wish is for Alfie to grow bigger, he hatches a plan involving a giant pair of metal claws and 140 tortoises.
Mr Hoppy, a retired bachelor, harbours a secret passion for his neighbour, the lovely Mrs Silver. Unfortunately she lavishes all her affection on another... Alfie, her pet tortoise. Mr Hoppy's wildly ingenious plot to defeat his rival and win the love of his lady will delight and amaze, involving, as it does a cryptic riddle and no fewer than a hundred and forty tortoises, large and small.

看得提心吊膽，就怕樓上的大叔玩兒砸瞭。能在如此小的空間裏講一個讓人提心吊膽的故事，還是很厲害。
评分最近看一篇超級長的小說，看得花也謝瞭，所以決定聽一個超短篇來調節一下，維持我的進度，哈哈，這是一個非常簡單的愛情故事，據說，有一部分是在講Roald自己的晚年，他晚年又再婚瞭
评分“Tortoises are very backward creatures. Therefore they can only understand words that are written backwards.” 生日前讀到一個關於小龜的故事:)
评分Extremely funny!
评分不錯
