Rating:  - my son loves these books
My son was not much of a reader until introduced to these books, he now reads all the time and just loves them. Adults may think they are silly and try to hard but to a 9 year old boy they are the funniest books ever. My son lends them to his friends at school and they are all addicted to them I would reccommend that all primary school librarys stock them just because they get kids reading.
Rating:  - Absolute rubbish!
I am 20 and had to read this for a Children's Book Day at work.
I mostly love childrens books and like a laugh but this was simply annoying.
It tried so hard to be funny it got on my nerves and the idea for the story is just so ridiculous. The book didn't get voted through as only 1 of the adults reading this book liked it the rest of us all hated it.
However saying that, this book seems to go down very well with children. the book is regularly taken out the library and children ... Read More
Rating: - A great read - but not a great listen
I have now read Mr Gum books 1 to 4, twice, to my son and we have enjoyed every minute of it. It helps if you can put voices into the reading as there is sometimes a lot going on within the plot (I chose a sort of UK West Country accent for most of the characters!).

My advice though is to NEVER by the audio books (CDs). The author has read the stories himself and the BBC have decided ... Read More

I've never written an Amazon review before, but Shabba me Whiskers that one star review made me so cross I had to write one right now. All of the Mr. Gum books are THE BEST, but this is the best of them all. I read it to my three children (aged 6,9 & 11) and all four of us were crying with laughter. I've recommended Mr. Gum to so many other parents, and all of them (and their kids) have loved the books. Funty stuff indeed.
Rating: - A Waste Of Paper
I love kids books and I love funny books. I did not love this book in any way at all.
Reading this book through to the end took effort, not because it was particularly slow-paced but just because it was trying so hard to be funny that it was quite simply annoying.
Perhaps I just don't have the right sense of humour for it but personally I would not reccommend this book to anyone.
