You're a Bad Man, Mr Gum!: Mr Gum, Book 1 Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Read this in manuscript on the plane back from Frankfurt and laughed so loudly and so often that I was asked to be quiet by the attendants. As if Monty Python wrote books for nine-year-olds. Just so damned funny. "

" ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS EVER!!!! Not only is it hilariously self-deprecating, but it is paced well and its a darn good plot. "

" I picked this book up from the library as a bit of fun. I've heard many good things about it and thought I'd give it a try. In all it took me about 30 minutes to read as its aimed at children with large font and illustrations. I thought the story was ok and I can fully understand why children enjoy it so much. It reminds me of Roald Dahl in many ways, especially how it depicted the characters. However I didn't like that the book failed to use proper english and sentence structure in parts. I know this is simply the adult in me, and that children will not pick up on these details but I personally felt the story would have worked just the same if written correctly. On a positive note the story is funny in parts and I enjoyed reading it. I think it will be especially appealing to boys who love to get dirty. "

" Fans of Snicket and Dahl will likely find some giggles here, although I don't feel this one will stand the test of time as well. Funny and melodramatic. "

" great book because its well a book about a dog called jake, mr gum, polly and friday o'leary "

" if only crafty tom had made an appearance, this book would have gotten five stars from me. so take note, aspiring authors: put dinosaurs in your book (especially if they don't really belong there), and get a good review from me. "

" Very funny,keep readers always reading "

" Hilarious! I couldn't put it down. I cannot wait to have children to read it to them! "

" Utter nonsense, but I can see why kids would love this "

" A cute, silly book. Sometimes Stanton's writing reminded me of Lemony Snicket. It was a very quick read and was goofy. I might get around to reading the rest of the books in the series. "

" What? Had some humor but where is the story? What is the story? I guess I missed the point on this one. "

" My kids and I both loved this book; its humor will appeal to all ages. "

" Als je kind van de bank af valt van het lachen tijdens het voorlezen van een boek, dan verdient het boek vijf sterren. "

" Exelent hoping to get book 2 "

" Cute and funny.....similar to the style of Roald Dahl but Mr. Dahl is still the master! "

" Read this to my 8 year old and we both found it a hilarious read. I've found it hard to find a book both my and son an I laugh out loud to but this certainly fit the bill. "

" I listened to the audiobook with the kids--so funny!!! "

" Could be the funniest book I've ever read. Maybe even crazier than Whales on Stilts, which is quite the accomplishment. Seriously, a little girl named Peter? Who thinks up this stuff? Author must be insane, but I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF THIS BOOK. "

" Read it aloud to your kids, they will love it. "

" Great to read with Luke, age 5, great Audi on iTunes too "

" I found it generally fun to read however there was odd wording in "
