What I loved best of all was that the story heavily features the Natural History Museum in South Kensington/London, and I hope that it inspired some youngsters to a visit.
The story itself – featuring an orphan with an interest in paleontology who unwittingly becomes an accomplice to a quasi Dr. Frankenstein – was moving and funny, but at time felt a bit long in the tooth. If my patience was tested, I can imagine that some of its intended readers would have felt the same.
Overall, I look forward to reading the other books in my Walliams’ stack. He seems to write with creativity (which I expected), but also with kindness and an awareness if making stories inclusive without stressing about it. ( )
