Fing

Description
David Walliams says "I wanted to write a story just to make children laugh, and nothing else. I think this is my funniest book, and I hope it will appeal to young readers and reluctant readers everywhere." RATTLE! Books would fly off the shelves. W H O O S H ! BONK! Pictures would fall off the walls. DUNK! SHATTER! Plaster would shower down from the ceiling. C R U M B L E ! DUNK! Poor Mr and Mrs Meek would be hurled out of bed. DOOF! DOOF! They would scramble to their feet, and immediately run around doing their daughter’s bidding. They gave Myrtle everything. But everything was never, ever enough. Oh no. The girl wanted one more “FING”. BESTEST BETTER THAN BEST!” appealed Father. Once again, Myrtle reached into her lunchbox. “Oh dear,” muttered Father, closing his eyes as he was sure something was about to be lobbed in his direction. He was right. In the same vein as Tom Gates and Captain Underpants… with written text but also much pictures… and humor that’s awesome for kids from 9 years old to ?
From the first, I had the feeling this was one of the WWC series, expanded. This was the first time my son has bought a Walliams' on day of publication, as he's such a fan of every other by the author (we've only missed out Awful Auntie). It's taken around 10 nights for me to read it to him, and he's enjoyed it.

Adventure starts with the parents quest to find Fing for their demanding kid and how it leads them on a terrifying and troublesome journey. I love the peaceful and happy ending. The author takes the readers with his amazing creativity to a different level of imagination. Armistice Day: A Collection of Remembrance - Spark Interest and Educate Children about Historical Moments

While my son found this entertaining, and I did enjoy some moments (list of unusual creatures in the MONSTERPEDIA being one), it just didn't feel as though it had been created with much love or care as some of the author's others clearly were. Even Fing himself has no character - he's an eating/pooing being, no emotion besides a lot of 'grrrr'ing. So I didn't care for the girl, her parents, the pet - there's no 'enemy' or battle... it really is just a reject from World's Worst Children or one made longer.
