The Hitchhiker by Roald Dahl

THE HITCHHIKER

Full of suspense, action, and thrilling moments. A great story! The hitchhiker was written by Roald Dahl, the famous British short story writer. This is a non-fiction short story. The main characters are a successful novelist and a bold hitchhiker who works as a fingersmith.

It all starts when the novelist who is driving a new car gives the hitchhiker a lift. The hitchhiker bets on the car’s speed limit, and so they go as fast as they can. Later, a policeman stops them. He wants to fine them, and he says that they must go to court, suggesting that they could go to jail. Apparently, the hitchhiker was a fingersmith, and he steals from the policeman the documents which contain their names, address, etc.

The writer depicts realistic and elegant characters, in this case thieves, the way they steal, and how easily one can be robbed.

I really recommend this to people who like suspense stories. I think it is a great masterpiece not to be missed!
