Even gekeken wat mijn zoontje van 11 leest; een boek over een waanzinnige boomhut van 78 verdiepingen in een kleine 400 pagina's. Meer tekeningen dan tekst. Vooral grappig en soms erg leuk bedacht, bij het krankzinnige af. Boek begon fris van de lever, maar het duurde te lang, met te veel herhaling waardoor het verhaal gaandeweg verbleekte.

Author: Andy Griffiths
Illustrator: Terry Denton
First Published: August 2016
Length: 376 pages (paperback)
Series: Book 6
Apparently the fastest-selling Australian book, outselling The 65-Storey treehouse and Matthew Reilly. It really is lovely to see a book that appeals to young readers, male and female, does so well.
Sadly, it isn’t my favourite. I found it slow and not as LOL as previous books.
Basically, instead of writing their book they’re making a movie. But Andy feels excluded from the process, Terry is the star, and hijinks ensue.
On the plus side, it once more will appeal to young readers, encouraging visual and verbal literacy. Terry and Andy explore writing your autobiography, an interesting teaching lesson, as well as just letting your imagination go and the ridiculous spurt on the page.
These books work. They have a market; they sell. But they also encourage reading without delving into violence, toilet humour or overdone morality. A great gateway reader for moving into chapter books.
Still worth reading. Still going strong. Still appealing to the young audience without annoying the grown-ups.
It’s all good.

I must be honest, I found this book a bit disappointing. This book is one of a series of books about two boys who live in a treehouse which has lots of different and interesting areas of interest all housed on a different story. Each book adds additional storeys, each with its own activity and/or concept for enjoyment by a young boy. This idea was really interesting and fun and we did like it. This particular story is about a movie director, Mr Bigshot, who comes to the treehouse to make a film. He excludes Andy, one of the main characters, from the film. This is a source of great agitation for Andy and he sets off on his own to make the best of things by himself with all sorts off disastrous results for the film making process. The illustrations were lovely but what I didn't like about the book was that the story seemed quite disjointed at times. Characters and ideas flitted in and out, seemingly out of nowhere, and I didn't understand their purpose or contribution to the story. My son, Michael, aged ten enjoyed it but I felt that might have a lot to do with the fact there are lots of pictures and the text is fairly minimalistic. I don't think I will be reading the other books in this series.

I am still not entirely sure why I am even reading these books. :P On the one hand they are funny, and I quite love the idea of a treehouse like this (I wouldn't mind having one myself, though I would get rid off most of the animals and the clones). But on the other hand, the characters are just horrible. And horrible towards friends (like how Andy was shunned by both Terry and Jill in this one). I felt really sorry for Andy in this one.
The ending was hilarious though, and I was cheering for Andy.
I also liked that on almost every page you could see a part of a cow. At first you have no clue why, but then something happens, and it is just a delight to scroll back and find the cows.
Illustrations are so-so.
I guess I will still check out the next one. :P

Førsteinntrykk
Så langt e har kommet så syntes e den er heilt grei.
Starten syntes e at de burde ha snakket litt mer om de.
Sjangeren er barn/ungdom, komedie og spenning.
Sjangertrekkene er robot dommer og trehus med 75 etasjer så langt e har kommet.

Were it not for the cows and the courtroom drama, I would have rated this book three stars. The completely artificial separation of Andy and Terry does nothing except make them act completely out of character.
