This book is filled with crazy stuff Itchy nipples? Now that's just silly But I did really enjoyed this book and instead of reading a chapter per day I ended up reading the whole book
While entertaining this book left me wanting The heroine Angel has to be the stupidest protagonist I've come across in ages First she runs on about how she needs a man in her life to make her family whole In this day with women feminist and harping to be treated eual I found this unbelievable Once married to Thomas she does the most incredibly stupid things knowing that he's already suspicious of women in general and her in particularIntroducing the reporter Nat to betray her then never mentioning him again came across as no than a convenience Barb and Bob the CPS agents were portrayed as supercilious do gooders who didn't know what in hell they were doing I found most of the characters stereotypical and the overall writing repetitiveIn addition the author head hopped from one character to another without regard to who's POV the chapter was in
An interesting book with a strange humourous device; the hero is a pubescent lad whose nipples itch if someone near him lies Somehow I can't imagine many of the kids at school taking it I think they'd find it a bit uncomfortable lots of mentions of nipples as you might imagine but if they do the moral of the story is worth the read
This was my first book by Morris Gleitzman and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it I listened to the Bolinda audio edition which was very capably read by the author but I freuently wished I could delete the rather annoying music that played at the beginning of each chapter
This was a reread for uni Pretty cute uick read
Thomas has itchy nipples which he thinks are lie detectors He tells both of his friends Kevin Hollie what is happening to him Hollie finds kids on the internet who suffer same thing called Doubters One by one they are dying till they meet Vera Poulet via a game show to win tickets to Paris Vera shares her secret to how she survived by keeping away from liars I though this book was brillant very funny
Hilarious Morris Gleitzman never fails to entertain and push your emotional buttons at the same time I love that all his books are light hearted and full of intense depth all within the same page DOUBTING THOMAS was no exception
this is a bit of a funny book i really enjoyed it
This book is a book that says that if you have itchy nipples you should read this book
Thomas's nipples gets insanely itchy when someone tells a lie; therefore his nipples are like a lie detector
