I remember reading this as a child and it being one of my favourites. Absolutely brilliant, the the plot intertwines perfectly. If your a fan of Roald Dahl give it ago! Re-reading it a 23 was a great choice!
I wasn't keen on this prince and the pauper/freaky Friday mashup. As usual the writing was good but I found the plot a bit disappointing. I just felt as if I'd read it before.
