Liked It4 of 4 members found this review helpful “Ed and his best friends Audrey, Ritchie and Marvin are the sorts that one would term "underachievers." Ed slaves away at a dead-end job, comes home to his mangy, caffeine-addicted, lovable dog and gets verbally abused by his mother when he does talk to her. Audrey bounces from one meaningless...” see full review » see other reviews » |
Didn’t Like It2 of 3 members found this review helpful “While yes, I suppose this book is well written, it is essentially a terrible story hidden behind a fast paced plot.

I would never encourage a...” see full review » see other reviews » |

“I found this book because it is the same author who wrote The Book Thief. I listened to it and it is very entertaining - good reader, skillful writing, and nice story. Great ending/point to the story. I do wonder if I would have liked it even better reading instead of listening....”

I didn't see a point to the book, it was very slow and dragging on. I didn't have anything to look forward too... I might try again another time, but for now, I will read another book.”
“Alright, but I did really like the ending.”

“This book is so intense, if you have the attention span of a squirrel diagnosed with ADD and tend to jump from book to book because of spurts of boredom like me, you won't have any problems with this book.

Just do it.”

“Good message about getting off your butt and noticing the need around you, but still a bit questionable. Not comparable at all to the book thief - now that was a good book!”

“Started this about a month ago, and read 3/4 of it in an afternoon. I could have read it in a weekend, though, it was that good a book. Love Zusak's style--and Ed Kennedy is the best. :D”

“DNF - in spite of a wonderful message of helping your fellow human beings I found the delivery a little too heavy-handed. And what is with Ed being horny all the time? I get that he's a frustrated young guy, but still. It seemed out of place in this story.”
