About the Author

Andy Stanton lives in North London. He studied English at Oxford but they kicked him out. He has been a stand-up comedian, a film script reader, a cartoonist, an NHS lackey and lots of other things. He has many interests, but best of all he likes Radio 4, books and music (even jazz). One day he'd like to live in New York or Berlin or one of those places because he's got fantasies of bohemia. His favourite expression is 'Good evening' and his favourite word is 'captain'. This is his second book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny as anything! Your kids will love this! 24 May 2007
Format:Paperback
On the recommendation of a friend, I bought this for my nephew's eighth birthday - and I'm happy to say it was the hit of the day, not just amongst the kids but the adults too. Weird doesn't even come close to describing the plot of this book, but basically it involves a gingerbread man with electric muscles, who just happens to be a billionaire (told you it was weird). There are all sorts of funny asides but somehow the author keeps it all in check and produces a satisfying (but highly bonkers) conclusion. In short - buy this book for any kids you know and if you don't have any kids - buy it anyway. You will laugh a lot. Have just ordered the first one for my nephew, (but I will be reading it first, for sure).

5.0 out of 5 stars Children love them 28 May 2009
Format:Paperback
The reviewers who have been critical of this book are not children and do not appear to have read it to a child. All of the 'Mr Gum' books are odd, weird, off the wall etc - but children absolutely adore them and my 3 (7, 10, 12) just cannot stop laughing when I read 'Mr Gum' to them (they are best read aloud, I think). Andy Stanton obviously knows just which buttons to press to make kids enjoy his writing - it is not really up to adults to make pompous statements about their suitability. And anything that gets children, and especially boys, to enjoy books HAS to have a 5 star review.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Truth is a Lemon Meringue! 19 Sep 2008
Format:Paperback
I've never written an Amazon review before, but Shabba me Whiskers that one star review made me so cross I had to write one right now. All of the Mr. Gum books are THE BEST, but this is the best of them all. I read it to my three children (aged 6,9 & 11) and all four of us were crying with laughter. I've recommended Mr. Gum to so many other parents, and all of them (and their kids) have loved the books. Funty stuff indeed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not quite as good as the first one
We really enjoyed the first Mr. Gum. This one is still good - it's funny, entertaining and a good listen in the car.

But I've dropped a star this time for two reasons. Read more

Ideal for my Grandson to listen to at night, as he is settling down to go to sleep. This is one of many audio books he has, but this is the one that he specifially requested. Read more

As with the first one, the story crosses over onto audio excellently. My son's not quite old enough to appreciate them so I'm having to review them from an adult perspective but... Read more
