Baddest Dad

Reviewed in Australia on 16 July 2018

Verified Purchase

The book Bad Dad was great and funny. The one thing I loved best was how the story was dramatic and how the love between father and son grew more than ever while Gilbert was in jail. This book was very realistic and suspenceful.

Our 9 year old son just loved this book. He has read 'Ice Monster' by the same author David Walliams and enjoyed it just as much.
If your child enjoys reading, this is a great book to buy!

The best book in the world.

This was the best book according to my kids because of the humour and exciting storyline. Each chapter ended with a cliff hanger and made them want to keep reading. A great family read.

a little annoyed

Reviewed in Australia on 20 December 2017

this book was ok. but can nobody else see the extreme simalarities between this book and one of walliam's first books, "gansta granny"? when i first picked up this book, i wanted it to be really different from walliam's usual, repetitive style of writing. but unfortunately, it wasn't. his writing style is now becoming predictable and repetative. a young child, probably about 9-12, along with a single parent. after the first page, you can predict the rest unaided.

Mixed feelings about this book 🤔

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 February 2021

Verified Purchase

I like David Walliams books 📚 BUT ...
I feel like this one is exposing a little bit to much of an adult life.
Examples: mum left dad and son for a rich gangster and drinks a lot, dad is very poor they can’t afford food and live in a very bad conditions, auntie is telling her nephew about her feelings for a female vicar and how she has never been kissed 🤯
Personally I think 9 year old shouldn’t be reading about stuff like this.
Just be aware that that’s what they will be reading about in this book.

Not for 6/7 year olds but beautifully written

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 April 2019

Verified Purchase

Love DW, but this book just wasn’t age appropriate for my 6.5 yr old. So I’ve put it away for next year or the year after as it’s very dark and caused my son to be stressed and worried with the realistic and heart breaking story line. He’s not ready for it. We’ll stick to the worlds worst children series and look forward to growing into his fantastic books in the future.

9 year olds favorite book so far, definitely recommended

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 February 2018

Verified Purchase

I brought this for a 9 year old bookworm on her birthday, and she absolutely loved it. She said it was one of her favorite reads, and now looks forward to reading Awful Auntie, also by the same author. She also encouraged me to give it a read, and only a few pages in I'm getting Roald Dahl vibes! David Walliams is a brilliant author, and the illustrations in the book are extremely engaging.

In terms of the product, it was delivered promptly just in time for her birthday. And the hardcover finish on the book is nice.

Definitely recommend this for young readers.

Utter garbage

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 October 2021

I've got several David Walliams books, and have enjoyed reading Mr Stink and The Boy in the Dress, but this Bad Dad is trashy. Too much silliness, no real story line and too many massive onomatopoeic words taking up room on the pages. Don't waste your money.

Front Cover damaged

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 September 2018

Book arrived damaged. It was a present for my daughter who was a bit disappointed when she saw it - I'd ordered two books, this one is more damaged than the other. I'd thought about returning it but it's too much hassle.
