Review: I loved it as much as other Roddy Doyle books. I really liked the characters and there were lots of bits that made me laugh out loud!

Review: This one never grabbed me I am afraid. Two little girls who only speak the same one-line remark does not make for identifiable characters; the father who gets arrested does not tell the police that putting him in jail temporarily will leave small children unattended. There is no plot, except to scatter the characters and then bring them back to much the same place as they had been in, and kids may have fun with the unpredictability and ridiculousness but many of the sidelines seem like padding that gets dropped instead of developed. Like the slugs which wanted to take over the world. I did enjoy that the kids' mum is a world record breaker of records, many involving physical feats. Young children may have fun, but I have not read the earlier books in this series which may have been stronger. This book - ask yourself if a new writer, who had no track record, brought it to a publisher, would it get published? Or would an editor sit down and demand a rewrite, if they deigned to reply to the mail? This is an unbiased review.
