I think this book was great. It had twists and turns that made you curious what was next? The people in this book were described as you could picture in your head the story idea was an interesting topic and at the end of the book things went funny and made me laugh as some things turned out great and some totally the other way.And some of the characters were mad and enraged!.
This book is good for readers who like funny stories and not too big of a book that would take weeks to read. It is a great book to read at any time of the day and has excellent characters throughout the entire book. In every chapter there is always something happening. This book is also a book for kids that like at least a few photos every few pages.
