A hilariously written book by David Walliams, a new force in the field of children books. I read Mr Stink and Gangsta Granny, which was much better than Billionaire Boy, but Billionaire Boy is still ingenuously written with a satirical look, much like all his books,and yet still enters a poignant morale into the young readers mind, which they will then think about soon after they finish reading.

Good humour, though I felt the topics lacked compared to Mr Stink. The morale of the story was touching, and hopefully a few lessons could be learnt from reading this. Walliams touched on being overweight - but I felt like this was more a source of fat jokes (especially Mrs Chubbs). If he had touched more on this I would've liked it more
