So there's an immediacy and a grab to the writing that will pull the target audience in, alongside the chatty style, with so many words emphasised in bold you come away with spots before your eyes. There are also some cool illustrations, and large paragraph breaks, even between individual lines of dialogue, that break up the page and make the novel look more of an achievement for the reluctant reader than it really is. But there are also great lines and circumstances, meaning that if this were a sitcom it would be well worth getting the box set downloaded. I've been seeing several series for this audience drift away from their initial qualities recently (hello, Tom Gates), and I really didn't expect to jump back on board this series with such a pleasurable result after such a long time. This, then, defied all those expectations. May contain buts? No – more like 'may contain impetus to go back and collect all the others'.
I must thank the publishers for my review copy. We also have a review of [[The World of Norm: 9: May Still Be Charged by Jonathan Meres|book nine in the series]].
The series started [[May Contain Nuts (The World of Norm) by Jonathan Meres|here]].
