Billionaire Boy is a book about how money and fame can change people, as well as how it makes people act differently towards you if you’re the rich one. The characters were very adventurous also the book made me laugh a lot I would definatly reccomend the book to children aged 9 – 12 for both girls and boys.The contemporary books give my son access to the language he would expect, and most likely uses most.

I found this book funny and very good, but I found it quite childish and unrealistic in parts – it is for a young age group, but it was a light and funny read, which is great for younger readers wanting comedy, fun and a little bit of real life, this book is good.I thought the book was funny in parts, but I think some of David Walliams' jokes and amusing characters could have been cleverer. Their parents can't tell them apart and they are sent to a boot camp in America for juvenile delinquents. Personally, I plan for my son to read 50% contemporary books such as this, and 50 classic novels such as ‘The Enchanted Wood’ etc.
