5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous book, Jan 9 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Rover Saves Christmas (Hardcover)

This is a great book. It is so, so funny. It is a great Christmas book. I love the author, he writes really funny and entertaining books. I think it was as good as "The Giggler Treatment." I can't wait for his next book for kids.

This review is from: Rover Saves Christmas (Hardcover)

I swear, this book is about as bad as "The Giggler Treatment." Unlike The Giggler Treatment though, this books jokes aren't as sick. Also, it didn't focus at around 8 seconds of time. Those are the only good comments I have to say about that book. The rest of the book was about moronic talking lizards, a few fat and ugly reindeer, and a talking dog that somehow pees in a toilet. The dog somehow learns how to fly, and the rest is history. The book was so pointless, that I threw it down before I even got to the end of it. I also hated the way Roddy Doyle messed around with the chapters. I mean he wrote Chapter6 about 5 times and he did the same with about every other chapter. It's like come on, like this is funny. This book definately deserves one star out of 5. Don't read this book.

2.0 out of 5 stars let down--read the Giggler Treatment instead
When my children and I found out that the Giggler Treatment had a sequel we ordered it immediately only to be very disappointed. Rover Saves Christmas just didn't measure up. Read more

I just finished reading this book aloud with my 7- and 8-year-olds. They were rolling on the bed laughing from the beginning. Read more
