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.

2.0 out of 5 starsA weird book about grieving children
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 July 2021
This is a book about 2 children processing their grief by learning to talk about their loss and their emotions. All while they are forced to navigate evil talking animals and cannibalistic children.

Fortunately all that misery went completely over my daughter's head and she seemed to enjoy their journey through the rooms solving the odd riddle.

It's not a brilliantly well written book, the illustrations are creepy and it's not funny.

1.0 out of 5 stars Unnecessarily silly
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 August 2021
Verified Purchase
This book would probably engage younger boy readers due to its silliness. The plot is repetitive and a bit dull and the author uses the word 'crap' which seems completely unnecessary in a children's book. I bought this to add to my classroom library but it will definitely not make the cut.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a good book at all!

A peculiar book, that's very dark and the illustrations are horrifying towards the end of the book. Wouldn't even put this in a charity shop. Sorry Stephen Mangan but seriously it's a twisted tale about grieving children... and as for falling into a coffin, that's just sadistic! The synopsis doesn't fit the book at all!

2.0 out of 5 stars Just on the wrong side of weird
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 February 2022

I get what they were going for here, it’s well written and a really strong idea in terms of having to escape the rooms, but it’s all just a bit too dark. Haven’t enjoyed reading this with my 8yr old, sadly don’t recommend.

My neice and nephew thoroughly enjoyed this book, as did I! A great adventure, lots of fun and a bit of peril too. Gave us lots to talk about afterwards. Would definitely recommend.

Love this book. Brought for my daughter but we read it together. It is quite random, but very clever with a good ending.
