Go Hug Your Teddy Bear

For the first third of this book, I gave it a 3. By the middle third it was a 4, and by the time I finished it was a 5. Winkie is a memorable and loveable character. The book is filled with creativity. I didn't find it achingly funny as the book jacket suggested,...

Didn’t Like It

A very interesting premise in that a stuffed toy bear comes to life, has three wishes granted (one of which is to "doo-doo"), gives birth to a baby teddy bear after eating too many berries, and is ultimately accused and imprisoned of terrorism.

    A very interesting premise in that a stuffed toy bear comes to life, has three wishes granted (one of which is to "doo-doo"), gives birth to a baby teddy bear after eating too many berries, and is ultimately accused and imprisoned of terrorism.

    I was intrigued.

    Now I'm just glad it's over and I finshed it. More of my review on my book blog: carmensbookadventure.blogspot.com.

    Rating based on having read about half and getting entirely bored with it. I'll reread it eventually.

    A small teddy bear is accused of being America's biggest terrorist. The idea was good, but I thought most of the book was a bit boring. I didn't like the story enough for 3 stars. The book is a good accusation against the absurd interrogation methods that happens to suspects of terrorism in America under George W. Bush.

    A book about a teddy that comes to life, tries to figure his place in world but gets arrested for terrorism along the way.

    I can't do this book justice, i'd recommend it.

    However i did feel it took it self a little too seriously and handled it's message heavily without seeing and taking advantage of it's surreal/quirky premise. (And the middle 3rd drags and almost jumps the shark)

    Strangely written, definitely funny, sometimes thought provoking and not always the kind of book that grabs you and gives you that "I just have to finish it feeling." Definitely a book that at times can make you wander about life and cause reflection.

    Weird for my taste, but it was a good read. I don't know that I will read it again, but it definitely wasn't a waste of my time. Made me want to find my first teddy bear and give it a hug, that's for sure.
