It was funny and thrilling and did not get boring at any point of the book, I feel that most David Walliams books are repetitive though and could you a wider range of vocabulary.However, I liked the illustrations and style. David Walliams could also use more types of characters in his books but in conclusion, it was fun reading this book full of Action and Comedy.

I absolutely loved this book, as it’s true to life for some people. Struggling with life , but turning it all round and making the most of what they have and what life throws that them.

I loved this book. I t was so funny! Dad goes from being hero to zero! My favourite character is Dad because he would do ANYTHING to make his son happy. He actually became a robber because he wanted to buy him a race car set! It is actually quite surprising when Mum turns out to be Mr. Big's new wife!

I liked dad in the story because he loves his son

Its a story of a father and a son. Although the story was interesting but at the same time it was sad too. Sad because the father was part of Mr Big's team, the Crime Boss. And the son wanted his father to leave Mr. Big's team but his father told he was doing all this for his son. My favourite was the son - Frank. I may recommend it to my friends.

It was a very very good fiction book about a boy whose dad was a banger racer, but after he lost his leg he lost his job and took part in a crime but made wrong a right. I would like to recommend this to the people who like racing.

I think it is not fair for Gilbert to have no share of money when if he wasn’t there the burglars could be caught.My favourite character is Auntie Flip because she makes funny poems. My favourite moment in the book was when Auntie Flip switched places with Gilbert.

My favourite character was Frank because he was so thoughtful and kind. I would recommend this to my brother because he’s so much like Frank.

My favourite character was Raj because he is funny. I would recommend this book although it is sad that they have no money, I thought Frank’s mum would give them some when M Big went to prison.

This book is ok but I prefer The Midnight Gang. I wonder if Bad Dad’s leg would still hurt today if this book was real and my favourite character is Bad Dad because he is a fantastic driver (even though he did get arrested).
