Worrals Flies Again by W.E. Johns

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

“Okay, so how are we going to go about this review?”
“Perhaps by utilising a rhetorical device that asks me provocative questions whilst also providing a knowing counterpoint to the issues I raise?”
“That’s a bit wordy for ‘talk it out’ but sure, let’s go with that.”
“I don’t know how to segue this bit into the review.”
“That’s because you’re getting carried away with the bit.”
“I’ve given you a backstory and everything.”
“You have?”
“Yes.”
“Bit weird.”
“How are the kids?”
“You’re dodging the issue.”
“BECAUSE I LIKED THE BOOK AND I DON’T KNOW HOW TO WRITE ABOUT IT.”
“Ah, there we are.”
“I ACTUALLY REALLY LIKED IT AND ENJOYED IT AND FOUND IT A BIT OF A BANGING AFFAIR ALL ROUND.”
“So what’s the problem?”
“BECAUSE IT’S STILL NONSENSE I MEAN THIS GIRL COULD WIN THE WAR WITH ONE HAND TIED BEHIND HER BACK.”
“The capital letters are a lot-“
“WORRALS GOES BEHIND ENEMY LINES AND WORKS WITH THE RESISTANCE AND THE ENDING KIND OF PFTS OUT INTO NOTHING BUT BEFORE THAT IT’S EXCELLENT, IT REALLY IS, IT’S JUST A GOOD OLD BRINGING DOWN THE ENEMY SPY ADVENTURE STORY AND YES, ADMITTEDLY IT’S JUST A BIGGLES BOOK WITH THE NAMES CHANGED AND A BIT LESS SHOOTING (BECAUSE OF THE LAYDEES) BUT THE SAME BRITISH IS BEST VIBES AND MORE THAN A BIT OF CASUAL ISMS OVER EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE ELSE IS A NUMPTY BUT OTHER THAN THAT IT’S ACTUALLY VERY GOOD I MEAN IT’S NONSENSE BUT ALSO VERY GOOD NONSENSE AND YOU CAN’T NOT ADMIT THAT.”
“…”
“IT’S LIKE ENID BLYTON WROTE A SPY BOOK BUT IT WAS GOOD.”
“Oh man.”
“IT’S LIKE W.E JOHNS WENT YOU KNOW WHAT, SHE IS A LAYDEE BUT I SHALL JUST WRITE HER BEING BIGGLES AND THAT SORT OF HELPED HIM FIGURE IT ALL OUT AND THEN HE WAS AWAY. TONALLY IT’S MAD DIFFERENT FROM THE FIRST TWO. ALSO WORRALS IS FLUENT IN FRENCH COMME UNE NATIF AND NOT ONE PERSON GOES EY UP LOVE, YOU SPEAK LIKE AN ENGLISH PERSON AND SOMEHOW SHE OUTFOXES EVERYONE BY JUST BEING BRITISH AND THEN THERE’S THIS BIT WITH A STUFFED RAVEN.”
“I think you need help.”
“I KNOW.”
“I mean – weren’t you a bit doubtful about the first two?”
“OH GOD THAT’S TRUE I MEAN THERE WAS THAT STUPID BIT ABOUT A GERANIUM BUT NOW WE’RE HERE AND THERE ARE NO RULES, EVERYTHING IS DIFFERENT, THERE’S NO HOPE, I HAVE ACTIVELY ENJOYED A WORRALS BOOK.”
“Oh man.”
“IT’S A LOT TO PROCESS.”
“Look, there’s nowhere you can go after this.”
“OKAY I GET THAT”
