So, I met Bill Willingham at a book signing between this book and the last one, Cubs In Toyland. That book was so freaking sad, and I told him as much and that I hoped that the next one would be lighter. That’s not what happened. Now, I’m not complaining, because as gut wrenching as it was, it was good. He just wants to make us cry,apparently. (Seriously though, he was really nice when I met him.)
You probably don’t want to read this.
One of the internet’s favorite catch phrases would have made a great title for this, but I couldn’t bring myself to use it. I’ve been a longtime fan of true crime, but this book was hard for me to read. I’m giving it 3 stars, because it’s well executed, but it’s not enjoyable and neither is my review.
Fortunately, there’s no page limit.
Yeah, that’s right, I’m reviewing a short kids book. A girl’s gotta make up time somehow. However, I did throw in a review for Chu’s Day as a bonus.
Natural Born Killers was over a hundred years late.
Oh man, did i think I was going to enjoy this book. True crime and history, two of my loves, how could it have gone so wrong? Oh, by giving too much of the wrong sort of detail, I see. It’s far from the worst thing I’ve ever read, but it certainly wasn’t very engaging.
It’s like the Double Dare obstacle course in book form!
What’s a good way to get your kids interested in life science? This book about gross stuff that’s printed in purple and green is a good start.
Oh, so there really is such a thing?
Yes, dear Meg, there is a tesseract. And I can’t remember what else I wrote for this post, but here’s the link to my review again.
