This book was a little bit strange and I thought that it could be made a little bit better by making it a bit more realistic

This is a really interesting historical book about a fictional account of WW2. The book shows how animals were mistreated in the blitz of WW2 and had some very interesting Fake spies. I really enjoyed this book as trying to hide a gorilla on a tube train seemed like a ridiculous idea. Walliams has once again written a unrealistic but engaging, interesting and amusing book I would recommend to all.

This book is very funny, my favorite part was when he found out the code name was bananas because he liked gorillas.
