Q - 3 Do you like doing other disgusting things?

Q - 4 Do you like annoying people while they're driving?

Q - 5 Do you like asking plain stupid questions?


*************************************************************************************

If -

1. You answered any of these questions as yes, you will love this book.

2. You answered all of these questions as yes, you will love this book

3. You answered none of these questions as yes, you will have to read this book.

*************************************************************************************

I admit, I was a little apprehensive when I started out with this author. I hadn't really heard much about him, but when I read the first story, I was appalled. When I finished the second story, I was quite affected (mentally that is). When I finished the book, I was having fits and spasms of laughter.

The author, in my opinion, has been researching on child behaviour, as every action of the narrator (who is a child , DUH) has been accompanied by a description, complaint or something like that, which indeed matches a child's behavioural patterns.

The author has also been great in creating other personalities related to the narrator, such as his parents, sister, teacher, friend, and other such beings. They are constantly encouraging the narrator to do disgusting things and crazy things and weird things and annoying things and the like.

So, you want to buy this book (Of course you do!) then, take my advice, GO BUY IT! It's an amazing buy and one can read the stories forever...

My Rating for this Book : 9/10 (Buy it or we'll shoot you dead)

PLUS, I almost forgot to mention, this book actually comes with FREE PAGE NUMBERS!!!!!!!!

*Faints*
