My feelings about the second book in the Timmy Failure series largely mirrors the first. In Mistakes Were Made, quite a bit of the book's first half is familiarizing the reader with the characters and their story. The narrative of the second half sort of rushes through things, yet has some of the st...
Mistakes Were Made is not the sort of book I'd normally pay much attention to. I'm not a huge fan of children's lit and this one looked a bit too juvenile for me (not that I'm not very childish at heart). I picked up this novel for one reason: Tom McCarthy, genius behind such movie gems as The Stati...
A couple of my kids have been reading this series since #1, and since one of my favorite comic strip writers wrote it, I always intended to read it. Then I stumbled upon Steve Usery's podcast interview with him, and I really wanted to. But haven't gotten around to it yet. I stumbled on to the audiob...
4 Stars, Buy it for the series I love the cover. But I can imagine it's going to piss some people off. No typically people who would read it however. It's been a while since I've done any reviewing and awhile since I've read any Pearls. As usual the introduction had me laughing and smiling. I love ...
When Crocs Fly is a collection of Pearls Before Swine comics which are aimed a younger public. I would only recommend it to people familiar with the comics prior to reading it. Once again, follow the adventures of the many animals as they try to eat or prevent they get eaten. It was decent. So...
I do just love Timmy Failure. Though for a while in this book #3 in the series, I was starting to become impatient with his antics and delusions, by the end I was totally back on his side. These books are among the funniest middle grade books I have ever read (though I do wonder if kids would find...
First of all, I think I am just naturally inclined to like a book which starts with - "A Prologue That Will Most Likely Make Sense Later." That is funny. The entire book is funny, if you can accept Timmy's complete obliviousness. I thought this one was actually a little better than the first, the ...
This was a cute book. And hilarious. I was less than impressed by the plot, which was silly at best, but the character of Timmy Failure made up for it. I do believe that once my boys are around 8 or 9, they'll love this book, provided that, by that time, they like to read at all. Fingers crossed...
