This book is brilliant! I ended up staying an hour later at night still reading it, due to its cliffhangers at the end of each chapter. I would read it a hundred times if I had to! The book is about a school called ‘The Cruel School’ and as you have probably guessed, it is horrible. It is where naughty children go and face their consequences. In the school there is an evil scientist and her laboratory assistant; the pair create a machine that turns you into monsters. Could they be more evil? David has proved himself as a dramatic actor in BBC2's 'Capturing Mary' with Dame Maggie Smith, in BBC1's Agatha Christie series 'Partners In Crime', as Frankie Howerd in the biopic ‘Rather You Than Me’ for BBC4, and on the stage in Harold Pinter’s 'No Man’s Land' starring alongside Sir Michael Gambon. He received the Comedy Award at the Evening Standard Theatre Awards for his performance as Bottom in ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ directed by Michael Grandage. This book had everything one expects from a David Walliams book; a fantastic story, wonderful characters, and a great message for young readers. All of this is delivered with wit and intelligence that only David Walliams can produce. The way in which the characters learn as they go through strange yet entertaining situations is thrilling for readers.

If you like to be grossed out by stuff then this is the book for you. I also enjoyed this book because in the school there are a bunch of horrible teachers that made me laugh. I believe this book is good for any age even if they have to have it read to them. Once again, I loved this book because it was very entertaining!
