jassenhazz99
on 6 March 2014This is one of my favorite books its so funny like all the others but I don’t agree that boys don’t have lots of cool fashion clothes
-
Lilystar1133
on 4 March 2014This book is Very funny and at the same time Silly. It talks about how a boy Likes girl clothes and has a friend called Lisa who helps him wear girls clothes. Imagine! A boy in a dress or even reading vogue! This book is Very intresting and humorous Thats Why i Rated it 5 stars.

on 15 May 2013I like this book, however, as I am not into fashion it is not for me! Of course, it is fantastic and funny like all of David Walliam’s books, however, it does not stand out for me.

on 10 January 2013This has got to be one of the best David walliams book I’ve read, this is a heart warming, funny and sad book, daind walliams has certainly done a great job writing this! It’s book sends a message to us all, telling us that whatever you want to be in life, don’t let anyone tease you or bring you down, just go for it, and for fill our dreams! Don’t let anyone get in your way. I would recommend this book to anyone!! Xx

on 20 December 2012Funny and heartwarming. I absolutely loved it! The story is so good and there are some hilarious jokes in there but also there’s the sadness of losing your mother.
