Five Go Gluten Free is a spoof
version of Enid Blyton’s Famous Five books which saw Julian, George, Anne, Dick
and Timmy the dog go off on adventures and face challenges during these
adventures.
Five Go Gluten Free sees the four
chums go on a diet which is not just gluten free, its diary free as well,
actually it seems to be an everything free diet which was inspired by a
spiralizer which Anne got for her birthday from George and a cook book that she
got from Dick, which outlined all the things that they have been eating are
actually bad for them.
Bruno Vincent puts the Famous
Five into the context of a modern world and before reading this book I thought
that this would be a book to make me laugh but it isn’t that funny, it is excruciating
just like the originals are. This book could have been funnier but it is still
wroth a read anyway, because even if its not rib tickling funny it is still
quite amusing.
I do feel like there is something
missing from this book especially at the end because it ends quite abruptly in
my opinion with one of the chapters unexplained and not very realistic!
