Gangsta Granny

I decided to read “Gangsta Granny” after receiving a free copy while staying in the themed room at Alton Towers, UK. With typical Walliams humor that includes jokes about people's appearances, smells, and the inevitable fart jokes, the book was a blend of silly fun and engaging storytelling. Despite these childish jokes, which one might expect from Walliams' background in TV, the humor and storyline kept me entertained and made it easy to blast through the book an a few hours.

While the book was enjoyable, it hasn't particularly motivated me to delve into other works by Walliams. However, I don't regret reading it; it was a light-hearted diversion with a charming twist on the typical grandparent-grandchild relationship.

One notable aspect of “Gangsta Granny” is its ending, which, without giving away any spoilers, might be considered too mature for the intended age group. The conclusion could potentially cause some emotional upset for younger readers, which is something parents might want to be aware of.

Overall, I gave this book 3 out of 5 stars. “Gangsta Granny” is a fun read, especially for children who enjoy a mix of humor and adventure. It combines a quirky storyline with the warmth of an unexpected family bond, making it a decent choice for young readers, albeit with a word of caution regarding its ending.
