Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Flies Again

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Book 2

By: Frank Cottrell Boyce

Narrated by: David Tennant

Buckle your seat belt for the first ever follow-up to Ian Fleming's only children's story.

When the Tooting family finds an old engine and fits it to their camper van, they have no idea what kind of adventure lies ahead. The engine used to belong to an extraordinary car, and it wants its bodywork back!

But as the Tootings hurtle across the world rebuilding the original Chitty, a sinister baddie is on their trail - one who will stop at nothing to get the magnificent car for himself.

Fueled by wry humor, this sequel to the children's classic by the creator of James Bond - featuring a contemporary family and a camper van with a mind of its own - is written by bestselling, award-winning author FrankCottrell Boyce.

Clever, But . . .

At first it surprised me that it went all present day in the story, but then I thought the original was really a present day piece when it was written also. Then I was confused about why the vehicle didn't more resemble the one in the original, but that got answered throughout the book in a really clever way.

My only complaints are:
1. It seemed to be mean toward the French which didn't fit the first book.
2. I've never been a fan of obvious cliffhangers to lead into the next book.

I'm still quite interested in the series and look forward to reading them all.

lots of fun

Lovely continuation of Chitty's story, modernized and true to the flavor of Fleming's original work ...unlike the ridiculous Disney film.
