Nathalia Buttface is a Tom Gates-style book but with an interesting and hilarious bond between father and daughter, which adds fun for both adult and child. The characters are brilliant and humorous in their own way.

On the other hand the story was very episodic, and it didn't seem to have an underlying story, and there were good jokes but they seemed not to be weaved well enough in to the story.

Overall I enjoyed it but i feel the author could have focused on the story more than the characters and jokes.
