Why Mummy's Sloshed
by Gill Sims
4.5 Stars
*I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest and unbiased review of the book*
This is the last book in the Why Mummy.. book series and I honestly was so excited to read this book, with it being the quickest I have ever hit that request button when it comes to NetGalley! I was bought the first book in this series as a gift, which I was originally disappointed about, not thinking that I was going to enjoy this type of book, but I thoroughly loved it and feel in love with this style and I have devoured the entire series ever since. This has been the perfect series to pick up and read whenever I have been in a reading slump or have needed something light, quick and funny to read.
Although, there is a lot of recap throughout the book, I would absolutely recommend reading this series in order. There is a lot of stuff that happens from book 1 to this book that you will miss out on if you decide to read this book first and you may have trouble understanding who everyone is. You become more invested in the characters, their lives and their history and development throughout the years by reading the books in order and then you get the conclusion with this book.
This book is fast paced and easy to read thanks to how the story is formatted, being written in a diary format of the main character, the mummy herself. This does mean that the story, throughout all of the books, are told from her point of view and if you’re not a fan of her as a character and don’t like reading from her perspective, then you’re a little screwed. I’m not going to lie, I did at times find her, as a character, a little winey and stuck up, but that is her character and I’m pretty sure that you’re supposed to.
I still laughed a lot while reading this book, with this being the fourth book in the series I was expecting it to be a little disappointing, but I honestly still enjoyed it. Although none of the books quite hit the 5 Stars that the first book got from me, they all are rated really highly and this one just missed being 5 Stars, with me being slightly picky and giving it 4.5 Stars. You get to see how the characters all have developed over the space of all of the books and although you do get some overall conclusion, there is still an open future for the characters that you can’t predict what is going to happen for them because you can’t predict life.
This has been an easy auto read and pick up for me, whenever I’ve seen it in stores, and now I need to find another book that is similar to this, as I love having books like this on my shelf. Books that I know I will laugh my way through it no matter what I’m going through, will get me out of a slump, fast paced and easy to read, so if you are looking for a read that contains any of those things, then I highly recommend this series!
