David Walliams
Sarah Levete
- Reading
- Read it as a brief biography rather than a full account of every part of his life. Pause at the quotations to consider what they add, then use the glossary or index to revisit unfamiliar terms or topics.
- Themes
- Public career and personal interests: The biography traces Walliams’s route from schooldays and early interests to television work. The book presents a biographical account of a public career and earlier interests.
- Charity fundraising: The book covers fundraising through swimming challenges and a cycle ride, undertaken to raise money for Sport Relief. Fundraising is included as part of the subject’s biography; the book’s evaluative treatment is not clear.
- Worth knowing
- The balance between these aspects, and how much detail is given about any of them, is unclear.
