- The only reason I picked this series up again was because I remembered loving them as a child and I thought they would be light, fun reads. However this just was not a fun experience for me in the slightest. The blatant fatphobia in this genuinely left me feeling absolutely disgusted and sends the absolute worst message to children. I ended up just skipping passages towards the end just to get this over with. I will 100% not be reading anymore books from this series.

A little better than the first book. Certainly more tame.

Thrills!
Chills!!
Kills on the Hills!
Masquerading as a children's book, Mr. Gum and the Biscuit Billionaire is very much a study in nature of friendship, evil doings, and money management. It is also a look at life which shows that when everything is lost, you can still have your friends (as long as you don't make friends by giving them money). This book has lessons in it that are as good as the lessons in The Art of War or Seven Habits of Effective People.
It is as thrilling as a Matthew Reilly book, as absurdly funny as Douglas Adams, and as mysterious and out of the world like something written by Murakami.
And it has poo and boogers in it.
Read at your own risk.
