I bought this for my 9 year old son to read as it was supposed to be a 'new hysterically funny adventure' and I am trying to encourage him to read more outside of school. I read him the first chapter to whet his appetite and ended up reading the whole of the book with him. I have to say we were both in absolute tears of laughter! It truly lived up to its description. Mission accomplished. My son now wants everything ever written by Jeremy Strong. I don't know if my son just has a strange sense of humour or not, but I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is keen to get their child to read for fun.
