From Amazon.com

Although most grownups know Roddy Doyle better from his Barrytown comic novels (including The Commitments), he's thankfully returned for a children's book follow-up to his ridiculously ridiculous The Giggler Treatment. What's the cast of kids from that nimble-witted book leaving on the mantel for Santa? One of their mother's cans of Guinness. Oh, and 27 cheese sandwiches (minus the crusts).

Doyle's decidedly Irish, self-referential silliness gets a workout on Christmas Eve as Robbie and Jimmy Mack find themselves "very bored and very excited" waiting for Christmas Day. They leave a carrot on the mantel, too, for Rudolph, but soon discover that the red-nosed reindeer's on strike. ("Look, man, next year, maybe," Rudolph tells Santa. "It's a mid-life thing. I need a rest.") So it's soon up to Rover, the smartest dog around, to save the day and lead Santa's sleigh. How smart is Rover? He's got "a brain the size of Africa tucked into a head the size of a baked potato." And like all dogs, Rover "pooed, yes, but then he sold his poo.... The fact is very few dogs are brainy enough to sell their poo."

Few holiday trips could possibly promise to be this fun and funny. In addition to throwaway references to poo and wee, Harry Potter, and "diet water," Doyle often talks straight to the reader ("Chapter Six--The Teenage Years: I don't want to be Chapter Six. I never asked to be Chapter Six.... You don't understand my music"). Captain Underpants fans and like-minded kids (and grownups) will appreciate such respect for their intelligence--and their sense of humor. (Ages 8 and older) --Paul Hughes --Ce texte provient de la Hardcover édition.



From Publishers Weekly

The cast of The Giggler Treatment makes a return engagement for the holidays in this invitingly loopy escapade. Rudolph languishes with the flu and Santa appeals to canine Rover and his young owners to take over for the evening. Doyle addresses readers directly on numerous occasions, and if the fun feels a little frenetically self-conscious at times, it's still enormously entertaining. Ajhar's frisky drawings add to the mayhem. Ages 8-12.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Fabulous book, Janv. 9 2004
Par Un client
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.

1.0étoiles sur 5 Horrible, Jui 7 2003
Par kickit (United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
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.
