Review by: Roy, devourer of souls.

Book 4 in the Bagthorpe saga. See ordinary jack.
this novel (one of the funnest in the series) starts when Mr Bathorpe decides the family will become Self sufficient. Also Great Aunt Lucy (who doesn't believe in time),and her dog, Wung Foo, come over. In addition Daisy enters a "mortality" phase and holds funerals all the time. Uncle parker buys a new cat for Grandma. After Great Aunt Lucy breaks her leg and goes to the hospital, Mr. Bagthorpe buys a goat (to be self sufficient) and Daisy instantly falls in love with it. After Great Aunt Lucy comes back from the hospital (Now obsessed with having time exactly), The Parkers decide to hold a banquet. Both Thomas the second and Wung Foo are brought to the banquet and daisy sets them both free as the goat and a tin of maggots get lose.

dude this is horrible. it sucks [big time]. if i had to read this again then i would rip out my throat and have my friend spit down it before i would read this again!!!!!!!!!!! ( )

In Bagthorpes V. the World, the Bagthorpes turn their attention from genius, fortune, and immortality, and focus instead on Survival. They are on a quest to be Self-Sufficient . . . and the Bagthorpes never do anything by half measures. Add to the mix a visit from eccentric Aunt Lucy, who does not believe in Time, and you have a recipe for true Bagthorpian disaster.

This series continues to be fun and amusing. ( )
