David Walliams fifth book, Ratburger is surprisingly enjoyable, at least for me. It may have to do with the fact that I have a huge affection for rats and i'm happy to see them get some love. Zoe is a great protag I find, her dad's little arc is pretty decent too. Shelia and Burt are gross and work well as villains. I also really like Tina's arc, i'm glad Zoe doesn't forgive her until she gets an apology and recognises the cycle of abuse going on in her home and acknowledges that it doesn't justify her bullying, that's a good message for kids. Also seeing poor kids be shown as kind and worthy strikes a personal note with me.
