Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Justin
Josh is wrong this book is excellent

Rated 3 of 5 of 5 by Star
This book was pretty good but confusing. It was really funny but I couldn't relate to any of the charactors, and I don't like books like that. This one was OK, but I wouldn't ant to read it again.

Rated 1 of 5 of 5 by Josh
Worst book I ever read! Garbage! Trash! Horrible! Ive read other books by this author and they were pretty good, but this one stinks!

Rated 1 of 5 of 5 by Tori Hakensakle

This book was horrible! Sorry, no offence, but it was! There was no point to the story, and the main charactor, Joey, is so stupid and ignorant! In the guidelines it says I'm not allowed to spoil the books for others, so I'll just say this, would you be stupid enough to change your clothes and pretend that you're a store dummy, IN a store?!! This retarded kid isn't even normal, and I can't see why anybody likes it! He can't face his problems, and he doesn't ask anybody to help him with his equally retarded father! The kid is so crazy, I wouldn't even call it realistic fiction! Nobody can relate to any of the charactors! Don't waste your time and don't read this book!

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Joseph
This is the funniest book ever!
i am reading it for a book report in 6th grade right now and its really cool

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Stormy
