Funny, short little bedtime stories.
They do need to become an audiobook though. Those work best when Daniel reads them out himself with his glass of wine at dangerous angles!
Snarky humor with a dark ending. It started off meh but then I found it funny when I realized I just wasn't rich enough to find the hilarity. Thankfully, there was a shift towards the middle and ordinary 3rd worlders like me could appreciate the sarcasm. I did NOT like the ending, though. It was just hit way too close to home!
Thank you to NetGalley and Octopus Publishing US for providing this book, with my honest review below.
Daniel Foxx is an Instagram personality I love following and when I saw this book available - the very one he has created through several hilarious reels - I had to pick it up. Bedtime Stories for Privileged Children was everything I remember it being and more. While not something I’d actually read a child (nor anything that’s vividly written) it was hilarious. I kept hearing Daniel’s voice from his reels in the stories and laughing to myself. Pick this one up for some giggles, and if you follow Daniel join me in hoping there’s a follow up book about his gold digger reels!
Bedtime stories for Privileged Children is a collection of very short stories about the overly pampered offspring of disgustingly wealthy people. Not meant for children, the stories are mostly snotty, sarcastic, tongue in cheek observations about the working class and they are, for the most part, genuinely funny. Would make an amusing coffee table book or gift for someone who has an off color sense of humor.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this book.
