Reviews

[Chris Browning · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not a jot of detection this time around but a lot of very funny and silly farce. Not sure about how dignified a portrayal of dwarfism it is, and there’s an unfortunate chapter heading towards the end, but still a hoot and very much as enjoyable as it was in childhood
