I will just objectively rate this 3 stars because my son seemed to enjoy this one very much, even when I sat here rolling my eyes at it a little. He loves this series of books, though, and as long as he's happy with it, I'm happy with it.
I think the story is way too complicated for younger readers - and it was just way out there. The dialog and situations were funny - I totally laughed at jokes, but my kids didn't get them. Flip O Rama is still their favorite!!!
