review 1: NOT a children's book, and I knew that going into it. I just want it clear to anyone reading reviews and thinking this would be a fun book for the kids..do not purchase it! I'm familiar with Russell Brand, his humor, and his high speed delivery. You get all that in this book. Quite a bit of toilet humor and plenty of social commentary but just not enough real funny moments to give this anything more than 2 stars.
review 2: Ok, two things we need to get straight before we start; this is NOT for children and it's not going to be to everyone's taste. Brand is essentially telling a tale to ya/adults AS IF they're children. And I wholly believe that was the purpose. We're told the age-old tale of the Pied Piper, with a huge dose of social commentary. Sexism, eli... moretism, greed, bullying, sexuality, prejudice against disability, the homeless and anyone who dresses differently AND some digs at the rich and the recession, all squished into a 136 page picture book. That's a lot of opinion. That's Russell Brand. Plus there's more than enough (much more) toilet humour for any person over the age of five.Oh, and Riddell is still an illustrating god. less
