Back to this, maybe if I was 8 or 9 I would like it more, but I am a reader who likes to read a book, this is more like half children book and half comic.

Tony Ross' amazing illustrations completely enhance this wonderful book and perfectly capture the heart and soul of David Walliams' story.

Then a mysterious beastbegins roaming the halls of Buckingham Palace, Alfred must gather all his courage to save the not just the kingdom… but the world! I'm sure the usual age group are going to be reading this in their droves, but I would recommend an older age range of 10-13 to this title.

I know not all stories have happy endings, and lord knows Dahl wasn’t one to shirk the more challenging topics. By 'confused' I mean that readers may wonder if they are in fact reading Walliams, as well as being a little confused as the story progresses. I like that David intersperses real history and mythology into the story including our recent history as ancient history (the story is set in the future) so has some small educational value.

I was expecting it to be like the Archie Wilson and Beasts of Loch Ness book, as its listed in teh same Listopia list. Some dark parts which will make some people cry and some very humorous parts that will make people laugh out loud. But my nearly 9-year-old listened along with me and his assessment was roughly similar to mine upon finishing. Recommend if you have kids who want an audio book to listen to in the car, this would be one to add along with Archie Wilson.

And yes, Raj makes a guest appearance though within the plot, it wasn't as much fun to 'spot' him as it usually is. While I could read Billionaire Boy or Boy in the Dress again and again, this one isn't likely to be repeated on our school runs. I didn't like the Audible version very much, the music used as bookends to chapters was annoying, a little 80s computer-sounding, and I think I'd have preferred to read an illustrated paper copy. Zver iz Bakingemske palate je jedna divna priča o sazrevanju, o spoznaji da nepravda ne čeka da sama bude ispravljena već zahteva da damo svoj doprinos borbom, istrajnošću i upornošću.

I read the book as I had read odd chapters at bedtime with my daughter but couldn’t quite get the story so told her that I would read it when she had finished it. There were a few too many elements conflicting for me - a bit of a Secret Garden vibe with the sickly Alfie and another character, the dystopia (actually, very well created, but an incredibly dark world for a typical Walliams reader to be thrust into! I did like the cast of actors brought in to voice the characters, not leaving Walliams to take on each role (he narrates).
