Fun but lacking in substance
I've read quite a few of Nick Spalding's books, and they can always be relied on to provide some much needed comic relief. Bricking It is no different, however I did feel like it was a little lacking in substance.

The plot is straight forward, and to be honest maybe a tad basic. It feels like a very short read and I do think potentially could have been expanded on a little. Focusing on both Danny and Hayley's sides of the story helped provide variety and a much needed change in perspective. There's a fair few funny moments in this, some that made me laugh out loud. There were also a few unbelievably cringeworthy moments that I could hardly bear to read (think toilet humour). I think overall this has a decent entertaining story but is sadly lacking in any real substance likely because the plot is very minimal.
