An amazing audio book! So funny! So charming! So shocking! Lowry manages to satirize "old fashioned" stories while simultaneously capitalizing on all the strengths of the old fashioned story. I love classics, I love comedy, I loved this. (

Tim was a total dickface in the beginning of the book, and I almost tossed the book because of it. But I was reading the book not for the story but for the German practice, so I kept reading and things got much better. Overall it's an odd but fine book. (

blueskygreentrees | Jul 30, 2023 |

Adventures of a most horrid couple and their horrid offspring reminiscent of Charles Addams or Edward Gorey although Lowry's own hand-drawn illustrations lack the macabre bleakness of either. Very dark humour delivered with a light hand, great fun for twisted adults and very weird children. (

NurseBob | Jul 10, 2023 |

This was a great send-up of the old-fashioned orphan novel. The glossary at the end is not to be missed. (
