Pankkirosvon poika on kuin snadisti kliseinen gansterileffa lastenromaaniksi väännettynä. Kirja alkaakin jo kuin leffa: Frankin isä lähtee iltaisin töihin ajamaan rallicrosskuskina ja noina iltoina äiti vetäytyy makuuhuoneeseen supattamaan puhelimeen. Isä joutuu onnettomuuteen, äiti häipyy toisen miehen matkaan. Kun Frankin isä menettää työn, koittaa isälle ja pojalle kovat ajat. Köyhyys ajaa ahtaalle ja pian isä onkin rikollispomon kynsissä. Siitä alkaa seikkailu, johon liittyy paljon pakoautoja ja vauhtia. Vaarallisia tilanteita, vankiloita, hämäyksiä, oikeudenkäyntejä ja monta sivujuonta ja -hahmoa.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Tim Keller wrote in The reason for God, “For a love relationship to be healthy there must be a mutual loss of independence … For a Christian, it’s the same with Jesus. The love of Christ constrains. Once you realise how Jesus changed for you and gave himself for you, you aren’t afraid of giving up your freedom and therefore finding your freedom in him.” We can explain to our children that as Jesus made hard decisions for us, that made his life harder, so we make hard decisions for him that make our lives harder. We choose to live the way he asks us to. It is better for us and for others that we do. Sometimes it is harder. Sometimes it is not how we would choose.

Ehkä Walliams on hieman vanhemman sukupolven edustajana ja koomikkona löytänyt tällaisista vitseistä kultasuonen, ja saanut ihmiset nauramaan. Niinpä hän käyttää niitä lastenkirjoissa. Ehkä hänkin voisi kuitenkin päivittää vitsisalkkuaan sellaisilla jutuilla, joille voisi oikeasti nauraa sen sijaan, että joutuu pyörittelemään silmiään.British Comedy Guide has learned that Ghosts star and Paddington 2 writer Simon Farnaby is working on an adaptation of the story, published in 2017, about Frank and Gilbert, a father and son who take on crime boss Mr Big. I've only read a few Walliams books, but I seem to have just read them all over again. Elements of The Boy in the Dress and Gangsta Granny in particular. Tässä kirjassa oli myös niin monta peppu-vitsiä ja peppu jonkun naamaan -vitsiä, että mietin paljonko sivuja olisi saanut napsittua, jos ne kaikki olisi jättänyt pois. Ainakin useamman sivun.

Yksitoistavuotias Frank ihailee suunnattomasti rallicossia ajavaa isäänsä Gilbertiä, ja livahtaa usein salaa katsomaan isän kilvanajoa. Kamalaa kyllä, isä joutuu eräänä iltana hirvittävään onnettomuuteen. Hän selviytyy hengissä, mutta menettää jalkansa ja samalla työpaikkansa. Köyhtynyt perhe joutuu nyt tulemaan toimeen kädestä suuhun, sillä puujalkainen mies jää aina hakijoista viimeiseksi ja entinen hurjimus tuntee olevansa nyt kurjimus. At the end of this novel, Frank’s father has been released from prison, he has forgiven his mother for walking out on the family, the gangsters are in prison and his aunt is happily married, leaving Frank to say to his father, “I’ve got nothing left to wish for.

Illustrated in colour by Tony Ross, Walliams' three The World's Worst Children short story collections, centered around 'five beastly boys and five gruesome girls', were published in May 2016, May 2017 and May 2018, respectively.The film is Walliams's first original commission from Netflix. The BBC has aired adaptations of several of his children's novels, such as The Boy In The Dress, Gangsta Granny and Grandpa's Great Escape, while Sky have filmed Ratburger. The terrible rating is perhaps harsh but it takes into account the expectations around a Walliam's book. Particularly looking at the Boy in the Dress, his first novel, I found it very difficult to like Bad Dad, for many reasons. Being very cynical, it felt like the kind of novel that an established and very successful novelist can bring out - formulaic and basically not very good - but know it will sell anyway. There are so many repeated motifs and jokes. Not always a bad thing - Dahl did it plenty, Dahl to whom Walliam's is impossibly compared - but some of the choices here result in it being difficult to distinguish elements of Bad Dad from his other books. The poor, hard-done-to father/son combo and a couple of irritating yet loving female characters on the side mirrors the cast of Demon Dentist a little too closely. Simply put, it felt like I'd read it before. My young relatives enjoyed the adventure and there are colour drawings throughout, on shiny paper, making it quite a heavy book. This all makes it pricey so ideally you'd want kids to share. With car races and unlikely drives - Rolls Royces are heavy and not aerodynamic - and a villainous crime boss leeching off shopkeepers and borrowers, there's excitement and more than a few life lessons. Not too many of the tedious lists this time but tedious and bad poetry. While the use of varied fonts for words within lines is fun for kids, it hurt my eyes and makes the book look scribbled on though new. But it's a kids' book. The book's blurb says the story is "a high-speed cops and robbers adventure with heart and soul about a father and son taking on the villainous Mr Big - and winning!
