About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
The hilarious number one best seller by comedian and author of Because of You and According to Yes, Dawn French.
Everyone hates the perfect family - so you'll love the Battles.
Meet Mo Battle, about to turn 50 and mum to two helpless, hormonal teenagers. There's 17-year-old daughter Dora who blames Mo for, like, EVERYTHING and Peter who believes he's quite simply as darling and marvellous as his hero Oscar Wilde. Somewhere, keeping quiet, is Dad, who's just, well...Dad.
However, Mo is having a crisis. She's about to do something unusually wild and selfish, which will leave the entire family teetering on the edge of a precipice.
Will the family fall?
Or will they, when it really matters, be there for each other?
A Tiny Bit Marvellous is the number one best-selling novel from one of Britain's favourite comic writers.

Very clever story with funny parts and emotional parts in equal measure. Read so beautifully by Dawn herself. Loved it

Like so good and stuff
I loved this book. So heartwarming and genuine. Particularly loved Dawn French channeling Anne Chancellor as Caroline Bingley for Oscar. I enjoyed the flawed nature of all of the characters. Well written.

Very entertaining. Definitely one to listen to!
I really enjoyed that Dawn French was the one to narrate this book. It made the stories' quirks come alive and was very engaging.
The story itself can get a bit confusing if your not concentrating or if you stop and start in between chapters as it is a diary entry style book of at least 3 characters perspectives but as long as you follow the changes in French's voice you should be ok.
I'm looking forward to listening to her other title.

A Tiny Bit Plotless
Dawn French's reading, acting skills are the saving grace of this book. The Battle family is dysfunctional - yes, we understand that early on. The kids are amusing.... yes.... but what's the actual plot? It eluded me for about 3/4 of the book & I'm still not entirely sure there was one or if Dawn was just making it up as she went along. However there's no denying of her acting & comedic skills - if it wasn't for that, I probably would've stopped listening ages ago.

Entertaining and witty story
Funny and charismatic journey of self discovery of a family and their dog named Pooh.
Dawn brings the characters alive with her animated narration of this story. I was laughing and crying and laughing again throughout this story. A enjoy read (listen).

Unhappy With Noel
LOVED the story and who else could have narrated so well? I related to all the characters but felt the Noel/X Man was too contrived. unlikely and spoilt the story a bit for me.

A Tall Story
A hilarious, insightful, witty, true to life tale of family. I loved the first person accounts each chapter belonging to each family member.

Relatable mother daughter relationship
Dawn bought the characters to life with her narration. Really enjoyed this book. Love anything Dawn does to be honest.
