I confess that when someone tells me a book is “ badly written,” I have to keep from rolling my eyes. There is also a little repetition from her previous autobiography, 2021’s deliciously unbridled This Much Is True. Elsewhere, an anti-Zionist critique might precede a profile of her favourite dogs, the making of a Christmas wreath or an acrimonious fart duel with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Walliams starts out well by placing his luckless heroine in a Dahl-like setting: a world where grownups are either incompetent, dead, or a greedy, evil villain, but . Awful Auntie is awful when it comes to Aunt Alberta, she is so creepy and dark in plotting awful ambushes.

I also found the whole premise gratingly nasty in a way that reminded me of Roald Dahl at his most misanthropic, and it was packed with the endless lists that Walliams relies on for his word count, but the kids seemed alright with those so whatever.

YA vampire novels that depict less than healthy relationship dynamics and billionaire romances with inexpertly written BDSM content are truly a dime a dozen.

I suspect there will be an awesome take down scene where Alessandro or Catalina kill Arkan; but I keep seeing a giant Arabella monster foot squashing him into an oily, liquid mess in a Monty Python-ish scene. If you don't mind an over-the-top, trying to hard to be funny plot and a terrible character, then sure, read this one. On the other side, three other wrecks, wrinkled and smashed like discarded coke cans, formed a modern art installation dedicated to House warfare –one on its side, one upside down, and a third torn in half. Transcribing anecdotes, some familiar from her “spiritual home”, The Graham Norton Show, doesn’t convey quite the same mischief, though you read with her voice in mind.

I am thinking of what happened to Simone Biles and I also know I would have an awful time with that kind of pressure.I know you are frustrated with this book, House Andrews, but know we all eagerly await, we have the utmost faith in you and it will be brilliant.
