The Bagthorpes: Ordinary Jack Audiobook (Unabridged)

" First in the Bagthorpe Saga series. Jack is frustrated by his ultra-talented and boastful siblings. Prompted by his sympathetic uncle he embarks on a new career... calamities ensure, as is the norm in the chaotic Bagthorpe household. Fast-paced and well-written. "

" Kind of fun, a couple of outrageous laugh-out-loud scenes. A pretty decent kid has to deal with a self-proclaimed brilliant family (meaning they're all self-absorbed attention-seekers). "

" If you like stories about noisy, brilliant English families a la Hillary McKay's Saffy's Angel et al, you'll probably enjoy this book as well. "

" Full of wacky characters. Amusing. "

" Amazingly funny, laugh-out-loud, British family hilarity "

" You gotta love the Bagthorpes. This hyper competitive English family has many hilarious adventures. The stories, although often silly, have a measure of everyman in them and the foibles are also presented with wit and good nature. "

" I loved this series in 6th grade. There was one page that still had me in hysterical giggles. "

" One of my favorite books as a kid, and one I thoroughly enjoyed as an adult, reading it to my daughter at bedtime. "

" This series is one of the series I check out from the library every time I go home and read. Oh my god. Hilarious for everyone. Could start kids at age 7 or 8, gets funnier as you get older. "

" Hunter and I read this. He said it is a 4 I say a 2. It is certainly a British novel. "

" I love love love the bagthorpes. "

" 4 1\2 stars. Hilarious! Highly recommended. Very good. "

" This series starts out kind of slowly - this is my least favorite - but picks up and becomes hilarious fun. "

" When I read this book I laughed so hard I scared my cat. "

" The first in an extremely funny series for children. "

" As a relatively normal third child of four in a family of rather extraordinary people, I definitely identified with Jack. Cresswell really has a handle on characters, and writes them to the point of almost absurd, without crossing over. Funny, ridiculous, and endlessly entertaining. "
