Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2238 KP) rated Can I Play Too? (Elephant & Piggie, #12) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Problem solving and inclusiveness are big themes of this picture book. And yet it is so fun and funny as Gerald and Piggie try to include their new friend Snake in a game of catch.

I don't know where to start with this book. I wish I had found it sooner because I love it. As soon as I finished it the first time, I immediately wanted to read it again. It's funny, ridiculous, and amazing. You can't help but love the characters and their antics. I cannot recommend this book enough.

I won this book in a Kindle giveaway, and I'm mixed when it comes to this book. There are a bunch of beautiful and funny short poems in here, but then there are a few that are either repetitive or made me ask, "Why does this exist?" I'm still gonna keep this book, so I can share it with friends, but I'm probably not gonna read this over and over again.
Haley Mathiot (9 KP) rated No Hope for Gomez! in Books
Apr 27, 2018
I love a book that makes me laugh. I love a book with funny quirky characters. I loved No Hope for Gomez. I don't think I can fully express how funny this book was.
Gomez was hilarious: his interior monologue was just as entertaining as his dialogue, his plans and his processes of carrying them out were funny to watch unfold, even his hopeless situations were funny, though in a slightly pathetic way. I kept thinking "This poor guy! hahaha…" He's so romantically awkward and totally inexperienced. I am pretty sure he was on the autism spectrum, which, in case you don't know, always makes a book more interesting. I was a little sorry for the poor doctor whom he was convinced he was in love with…
As far as the plot, it was intriguing. I couldn't stop reading it: one, because it was so peculiar, and two, because it was interesting. Near the end it became extremely exciting. The writing fit the character: quirky and full of personality. Because it was so perfect for the character, I can't really say it was good or bad, just right.
Content: some language, mention of sex but no scenes.
Recommendation: Ages 13+

Cassie Osbourne (6 KP) rated Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban in Books

So I have to be honest - I hated the first Harry Potter book, I just really didn’t like the style of writing so I decided not to read any more of them. My sister had been going on at me for ages to read them from the third book...and thank god she did.
Once I started, I couldn’t stop. This book is clever, imaginative, heartfelt and hysterically funny - one of the divination scenes caused me to laugh out loud on a busy London tube (if that’s not a measure for how funny something is then I don’t know what is). I am so happy that my sister convinced me to give HP another shot.

I have read several books by David Jason either writing as himself or as Delboy, and while this is not the best of the bunch it does make for an entertaining read. Its basically a book of mantras and lessons that have helped David Jason to become one of the most recognised actors still alive today. Its full of funny anecdotes and heart warming stories. It also is a good guide book for anyone wanting to have a career in entertainment, as it informs you of the up's and down's, the high's and low's of making it to the top. Well worth a read and definitely an insightful book.
AT (1676 KP) rated Assassination Classroom, Vol. 1 in Books
Sep 17, 2018
Assassination Classroom is a funny, quirky manga. The premise is that a classroom of academic misfits have been given the task of assassinating their monster homeroom teacher before the end of the year. They try each day, and train in different tactics, but continually fail because the monster evades them. At the same time, the monster is a caring, helpful teacher for his students. It's a odd and funny story. Looking forward to book 2!

<i>ARC provided by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review, thank you.</i>
I related to this book so much! The drawings were so funny and cute.
I laughed so much at some of the chapters and must say I had my favourites...such as the adult stickers and the tunnel of love (so funny as so true).
Some of the sections did go over my head but most of them I really enjoyed.
