Title: The 13-Storey Treehouse
Series: Treehouse- 1st book
Author: Andy Griffiths
Read Before: no
Comments: The plot is nonsensical and while there are some highlights, it never becomes engrossing or clever. It adds to the experience through the inclusion of illustrations which are funny and convey the humour better than the writing. The humour actually falls flat in a few places and feels uninspired. It tries too hard and while you are not supposed to take the book seriously, it works against it when it strays too far and is just a chain of unrelated events one after another. It falls into the trap of including a lot of filler material which adds nothing to the plot.
Rating: 5.5/10
