""Laugh out loud funny and full of heart"" Noel Fielding ""Funny, bonkers and brilliant"" The Stylist ""Very funny, with brilliant illustrations. It should be called The Book That Everyone Wanted To Read."" Nadia Shireen ""One book that I really think children should read is The Book That No One Wanted to Read."" David Baddiel Have you ever thought about how it feels to be a book? To be left under a whiffy pant pile or shelved, forever collecting dust? To have your pages bent backwards or your spine BROKEN? What if you don’t have a sparkly unicorn or dragon adorning your cover – who will pick you out of the bookshop then? This is the story of the sadly neglected Book That No One Wanted To Read – can its destiny change when it finally meets the right reader? Spoiler alert: yes.

I liked it when i read the part that said they said you should never judge a book bi it's cover the first part of the book is trying to explain why you should read a book

I thought it was great because it was the opposite of the title! In every page there are illustrations describing what’s happened. Really different book

Richard Ayoade's children's debut gives you all the answers in a way that's silly, funny, and thoroughly beguiling. Have you ever thought about how it feels to be a book? To be left under a whiffy pant pile or shelved, forever collecting dust? To have your pages bent backwards or your spine broken? What if you don't have a sparkly unicorn or dragon adorning your cover - who will pick you out of the bookshop then? This is the story of the sadly neglected 'Book That No One Wanted To Read' - can its destiny change when it finally meets the right reader? I would recommend this book to others!

4.5/5 stars. I was a bit worried that no one really did want to read this book, as nobody in my library had read it before me. Just kidding. It was AMAZING, full of action, drama, betrayal and battles! Just kidding, again. It’s not that kind of book. It’s truly a one-off. Written by a book. And the book is funny. If you’re looking for something unusual and funny, give this a try. So good.
