The characters are flat and talk a lot but nothing happens, apart from things getting damaged and making sounds.

The writing was fast-paced, easy to follow, and a little bit naughty, and the characters were weird and wacky. Adam Stower is an author and illustrator, who has collaborated with David Walliams on several of his books for children. On top of that, during the second half of this book the narrative split into two and we were jumping back and forth between two storylines and two sets of characters which felt disconnected and at times really annoying. I have a few ideas on why this book didn’t work for me but it genuinely surprised me that I didn’t love this book. His books have now been translated into 40+ languages, and also include picture books illustrated by Tony Ross.The city of Bedlam is desperate; the streets are rat-infested and filthy; the buildings dilapidated, and, worst of all, the inhabitants are ruled by super villains of the underworld. Another wonderful book from David Walliams, with a great storyline and really interesting and fun characters especially ratty, would love to read more of robodog and ratty's adventures, accompanied by gorgeous illustrations. I love that the Professor and the Chief were married because the people in the books I have read who have been married to each other have been husband and wife, so it was fun to read about a wife and a wife. The Chief relies on the city Police Dog Training school to produce excellent crime-fighters to help her and her police force control the city’s baddies, but even this isn’t working any more. Given how much enjoyment I got from the illustrations I can only imagine how much young readers are going to love them.

Bedlam, once a home to ordinary people, is now a city infested with rats and is as dangerous as it is filthy. Unlike Dave Pilkey’s somewhat stupid Dog Man, Robodog is not only brave, strong intelligent, and capable of heroic deeds, he is also a very likeable character who cries tears of oil when sad and whose biggest dream is to be a real dog, loved by his human parents. The Police Chief is stressed out as she can’t seem to get ahead of it, and the entire city is now suffering. Biography: David Walliams is a literary phenomenon whose books have sold more than 50 million copies worldwide and have been translated into fifty-five languages.The chief decides she wants a dog that can do every task which leads to the professor creating a "Robodog" out of old washing machine parts, kinda like Frankenstein's monster.

David Walliams is a literary phenomenon whose books have sold more than 50 million copies worldwide and have been translated into fifty-five languages. There is a billion dollar robbery to be foiled, where only a rat who swears he’s a mouse can save the day.Personally, I think I preferred Tony Ross's illustrations over Adam Stower's but he still captured the essence. Walliams succeeds in combining his self-confessed love for the canine world with an amusing adventure story for young readers. As much as I agree this is wholesome and sweet , it doesn’t have the charm of his initial books , I’ve already noticed a shift in the writing style and the illustrator , but I wanted to complete all of his work , atleast at the time I discovered him and I’m glad it’s all off my tbr.
