I think all of David Walliams books are absolutely wonderful!! I think other's should read this book because it's funny. My favourite part was when Frank's mum whipped a pistol from her knickers!!! ( He 's not telling a porkie pie just to be like Roald Dahl) The book is about a dad who is a car racer and broke his leg. I won't tell you the rest as I want to keep it a surprise! Happy reading!! PFO Xx

This book is by David Walliams and I wanted to read it because I enjoyed all his other books and it had a mini on the front cover. I enjoyed this book because it is adventurous funny intense and interesting. I thought it was funny because when they had rob the bank they led the police to a football match and playing a football with them Gilbert one. I thought it was intense because when Gilbert crashed and there was a explosion I was desperate to find out if Gilbert was ok and what had happened to him. This book is interesting because of all the David Walliams books I've read there has been a character called Raj the newsagent. The whole book was adventurous. I would definitely recommend this book. I would read this book 8 Out of 10.

This was sad in a way because the mum left the boy and his dad alone and they needed to survive. But it was also funny.

My favourite part was when the boy spent all of the dad’s money for the church roof and the dad said ‘mate!’ I would recommend the book to people who like to read and like funny and serious stuff.

This book is very long, heartbreaking and lot's of twists and turns. My favourite chapter is mum with a gun. It wasn't the best though. I would prefer if BAD DAD did more bad things by himself. I recommend this book to 7-12 year olds
