How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings, help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amusing and well written; a great book to get young readers interested.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 February 2020
Verified Purchase
I bought this for my nine year old girl, and she's spent the past few days with her head buried in it, snorting and chuckling away. I have had her read a few pages to me; it's well written and very engaging. And of course, funny!

The print size is quite large, which is in keeping with the age group. This makes the book less daunting to children who find that reading isn't at the top of their list of "fun things to do". If your child lacks confidence in their reading, I pretty much think they would find this an appealing read. Be prepared for laughter!

A great book, and I'm sure we will be sniffing out more reads by this humorous author.

5.0 out of 5 stars Laugh at this comedy!!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 December 2017

This book is laugh out loud funny and keeps you engaged until the end. I would recommend this book to 7-12 year olds.
It is filled with jokes right from beggining to the end. This is the best comedy book I have ever read and want to read the whole series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comedy at it's peak
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 April 2019

This book made me laugh and will probably make anyone laugh just at reading the title. It is entertaining and will certainly be understood by young children. Well written and a great idea and story line and I would recommend it for all the ages even adults. Good ending as it makes sure kids won't use the silly tricks on their parents

These books have got my 11 year old reading - she actually seems to be enjoying them - and is getting through them in a couple of weeks - rather than a book lasting her 6 months! Well done Pete Johnson!

4.0 out of 5 stars Halarious book with a cool story idea.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 August 2017
Verified Purchase
I loved this book but it only got 4 stars because some characters weren't introduced properly so when they are mentioned later I didn't remember who was who. This could just be me as I get this often with books but I would recommend this book to all families with children of any age. This book needs to have a version from a different point of view like Maddy's or Theo's. Thank you to the author for such a great book 😁

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm a happy mummy

Love this book. I have not read it myself, however it was the first book of this type (chapter) that I have been able to get my son to read.
Honestly I think it's due to the title, I mean how great does that sound... to an 8 year old, how to train your parents, I know my son would love to be in charge sk I think this book really did catch his eye when he opened it on his birthday. And since then he has been reading different chapter books.

My daughter really enjoyed this book. It's hard to get to her to willingly read so I let her choose a book and she opted for this. She ready it quickly and was very enthusiastic. Not sure if I'm being secretly trained to be a better parent or not...
