Demon Dentist

Product Information

The characters are well-drawn, in particular hero Alife, who is also a carer for his disabled dad, and the terrible villain really is truly demonic. With his new friend Gabz he investigates why the dentist, Miss Root, is giving out free sweets and acidic toothpaste which can burn holes through stone… He realizes he is in big trouble when she straps him into the dentist's chair and starts pulling out all of his teeth!

David Walliams is the New York Times bestselling author of Demon Dentist, The Midnight Gang, and Grandpa's Great Escape. Meanwhile his breathing became shallower and shallower, until one afternoon he collapsed at the coalface. One of us worried that our mum might actually be the demon dentist as she pulled out a tooth when brushing them this morning as our member was being too lazy to do them himself! Getting another job became impossible, and even everyday tasks, something as simple as tying a shoelace, grew to be a struggle. David Walliams is such a funny guy and I was expecting so much more from this book, maybe something as crazy and funny as Roald Dahl but it falls way short of that.

Like in all of David Walliams's books, Raj features in the story but there are other great characters too. There's nothing 'wrong' with Demon Dentist - you've got a poor kid who's lost his mum, whose dad is disabled from inhaling mine dust, who is losing teeth after bad experiences at the dentist many years ago.

There is such evident glee in their creation that it would take a greater curmudgeon than I not to be swept up in the delight. Walliams is consistent, however, creating adult characters that are extreme and exaggerated from the police officer to the head principal.The dentist is a common phobia amongst children, and the more sensitive might find some of the more nightmarish scenes difficult to take, most notably when Alfie gets all his teeth removed without anaesthetic, his arms and legs held in place with metal cuffs. Children are leaving their teeth for the tooth fairy and waking up to findodd things under their pillows! I thought this book was scary first when they have to close there eyes in assembly for a dentist it was really scary and i loved to because you showed how they really felt and their actions! The dentist then instructed his rotund receptionist to leap out to the window on the count of three. Miss Root’s hair was white-blonde, and arranged in a perfectly lacquered ‘do’, usually only spotted on the heads of Queens or Prime Ministers.
