Lasten täytyy tässäkin päihittää nokkeluudellaan useampia karikatyyrimaisia hirviöaikuisia, jotka tuovat mieleen Matilda -romaanin antagonistit.Walliamsia on rasittavuuteen asti verrattu Roald Dahliin, ja onhan heidän tuotannossaan jotakin yhteneväisyyksiä.

In a mixed review, Kirkus Reviews said, "An entertaining tale that will definitely find an audience, but fans of icky, vicious comedy deserve better.
