This book
was very funny and entertaining. However, this also caused a point of confusion
for me. As a librarian, when I read a book I try to figure out who are the best
readers for it. This book includes a lot of guy humor and would definitely
appeal to teen boys, but I don’t meet many that read realistic fiction. I
believe once the word gets out among their peers it may pick up the deserved
hype. It’s attracting that first reader that may be a challenge. Because of the
humorous facet of story, I would recommend this to older teenage boys that were
fans of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid
series and Captain Underpants. This was also the first time I started a book
on audio and finished it by physically reading it. The audio was great, but
after discovering that there were illustrations included (similar to Wimpy Kid) I would have chosen to read
the entire book.
