Awful Auntie

Product Information

I had hoped for something else, but instead even the ending had to be silly and weird like the rest of the book.

In the wake of the tragedy, Stella's Aunt Alberta launches a plot to trick Stella out of her inheritance. Even though generally David Walliams books are hit and miss, I just keep reading them, hoping to find another one that is good.

And at times the story was just really disgusting (the whole feeding Stella food that was mix and pulverized by an owl? A budući da je ovo zapravo roman za djecu, vidim zašto bi se sve te peripetije (i silni, meni iritantni, popisi) mlađoj publici i dopadale. As Aunt Alberta and the owl develop ever-more-evil plots to get rid of her, Stella must use cunning tricks and a rather spooky secret weapon to foil their plans.

The story itself, it felt like it could have easily be done with 100 or so pages less, now it felt unnecessary and overkill. Little Stella Saxby is the only person standing between Aunt Alberta and ownership of Saxby Hall - which means Stella is in serious trouble. On Chester's (Stella's dad's) will he said that when he died Saxby Hall (their HUGE house) would go to Stella and not to his sister Alberta.
