It was a great book it was enjoyable and engaging. It is my style of book. There are a lot of other worlds worst something like children , parents, teachers and I love all the books.

David Walliams's books are always awesome. I was so focused on the book when I was reading about the terrible, horrible, no good teachers. I wonder if there were actually teachers like those.

I have listened to this audiobook a lot of times because it is really funny. Chapter 10 is my favourite with Mr Bulk/ The Incredible Bulk, especially when it says "a million sausage rolls later he was ginormous"!! I definitely recommend this book!

This was so funny, I almost fell out of my bed laughing!
Whatever you do, don't read it in bed. You will be up all night laughing!

For fans of Walliams, this is a must see (or must read)

Overall, 10/10!

I liked the chapter about Miss Spick because I liked the part where the Twizzle twins put some rocket boosters on her trike and when she turned it on she was blasted into outer space. I would recommend this book as it’s a very funny read.

An amazing book it was hilarious and my chapter favourite chapter was the one about miss conceit she was an art teacher who only cared about herself and in art classes they were only allowed to paint pictures of her in the end the children tricked her into actually be inside the stature.
