Customer Reviews

Just to add some balance...
This is a very good book. I remember reading it when I was around 12. It may have what could be read as "gross out tactics" in it but they are very inventive ones. Kids may be impressed by burps and farts, but even an adult would be impressed by someone who could fart the national anthem...

Also, if you read some of his adult fiction (only for adults mind. Subject matter and language get very mature) you'll see that he can fart symphonies. Incredibly gross and incredibly imaginative all at once.

The fact that this book involves two of the biggest antiheroes who get their comeuppance at the end, and I remember it 18 years after I read it at least means it at least deserves four stars, but because the other reviewer is so unfair in the one star that they gave it I'm going to be unfair in the other direction!

Class 3M Book Review
Mr Twit was drinking his beer slowly, but he didn't know that Mrs Twit put her glass eye into it. That night Mr Twit put a slimy and soggy frog in Mrs Twit's bed. Mr Twit is really disgusting and ugly because he has lots of tiny bits on his beard. After the tricks Mr Twit put sticky glue all over the big dead tree because Mr Twit loves eating bird pie. It was his favourite dinner.

It was so funny and horrible it nearly made me jump. I like the bit when Mrs Twit put worms in Mr Twit's spaghetti. I like the bit when Mr Twit tied Mrs Twit to some balloons and then he let go of the string then she went up into the sky. I like Mr Twit because he is really funny and horrible which is why he is my favourite character.


It was a good book for everyone because it's very funny for everyone to read, but the book is very old.
