Summary: disappointed...
Review: As a person who works in a high school and works EVERYDAY on getting kids to stop the BAD HABIT of using the word "like", I found it sad that it has now become part of our writings. Like, does this, like mean like I am going to, like have to, like read this everyday? I found it difficult to concentrate on the story as I was counting the 'likes'. Sorry =(

Summary: A young adult delight.
Review: Being a big fan of young adult books, you grow to be a little jaded. After plowing through thousands of these things, you get to a point where the same old story just doesn't do it for you. BUGER WUSS, thankfully, is not just the same old story. The somewhat slanted point-of-view and wicked sense of sarcastic humor in this book are just remarkable, and I found myself smiling, chuckling, and outright laughing all the way through it. There's enough moments of tender charm to maintain a certain level of seriousness, as well, but ultimately it's an all-around fun read.

Summary: Burger Wuss Review
Review: Burger Wuss is a book that takes place in modern day America. Three of the main characters in the book are Anthony, Diana, and Turner. Anthony is the "Burger Wuss" in the book. He is a skinny, shy, nerdy teenager. Diana is a beautiful, outgoing girl. Turner is the bully type; he is the one who bullies Anthony around. The plot tells a story of a boy named Anthony who falls in love with Diana. After a few months of having a crush on her he finally asks her out. She says yes. They go out for about 2 months. The reason they break up is that Anthony finds her on top of another guy at a party. The other guy is Turner. He forgives her but she doesn't want anything to do with him. Anthony applies for a job at Kermit O'Dermott's, a popular burger joint. He applies there because Turner works there. He decides to make a devious plan to get revenge on Turner for what he did to him. The first step is to kidnap him then to wait until Kermit O'dermott himself came to the store to shoot a commercial. When that finally happened he would embarrass Turner in front of the whole world. He would have a friend, Shunt, help him with the master plan. This was a really good book to read, because it kept you guessing at all times. M.T. Anderson did a really good job at describing the situation that you were reading about so it kind of felt like you was actually there. Some of the weaknesses the book had was only in the beginning when the author would describe several situations at one time so it was difficult to keep up, but after that it got really interesting. I would recommend this book to teenagers, because I know a lot of teens that go through exactly what Anthony went through in the book. Also it uses some graphic language and sexuality, but I definitely think that teenagers would handle it well. Adults wouldn't enjoy reading this book unless they think back to when they were teenagers, because this book is through a teenager's point of view. Kids would have a hard time figuring out what is happening and they wouldn't like all the describing that goes on in the book.

Summary: Burger Wuss
Review: Burger Wuss is a great book. It has a great plot of how Anthony tries to get revenge on Turner, his worst enemy, because he stole his girlfriend. He has a very sophisticated plan that he has been planning for a while to get revenge on Turner. It's all a matter of execution. Meanwhile, he is working at a burger restaurant with Turner, while Turner is trying to get him fired. Most importantly, he has to prove to everyone that he is not a wuss. Burger Wuss is the funniest book that I have ever read. It's the kind of book that makes you want to keep reading because you want to know what happens next. Although it's a great book, I wouldn't really recommend it for any one under the age of 13. Sometimes his thoughts and dreams get a little too descriptive and there is a bloody fight scene.

Summary: A book with a side order of laughs, please...
Review: Ever since I read Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging, I've been on this fantastic young adult novel kick and stimulated quite a few forgotten memories in the process. Well, the trip down memory lane has only gotten better with my most recent find, Burger Wuss. As a former teenage employee of a major fast-food chain, I can definitely relate to some of the most hilarious antics I've ever read in a book. Burger Wuss is not just about fast-food. It's about being a teenager and falling in love, then having your dreams squashed by someone bigger and better. And it's about revenge. Sixteen-year-old Anthony has hatched this devious plan of payback after getting his girlfriend, Diana, stolen by school bully, Turner. And what better way to put the plan in action then getting hired at Kermit O'Dermott's -- the exact place where Turner works. And for good measure, throw in a little rivalry with the other burger joint in town, Burger Queen; a whacked out employee named Shunt who's made it his main goal in life to undermine the fast-food chain; a too-serious boss, Mike, who spouts corporate lingo and upbeat team spirit pledges at any given moment; and two best friends, Rick and Jenn, who have found love with one another on a totally nauseating level. Burger Wuss is a hilarious and sarcastic spin on love, hamburgers and getting even. M.T. Anderson has written an easy-to-read, clear and concise novel. The perfect teen angst novel that everyone can relate to, especially those who have been there, done that. And not just for kids -- take it from me, grown-ups will love this story and all it can do for them. Sit down, relax and enjoy this funny spoof of a book.

Summary: A Waste of Paper...
Review: First and foremost I would have originally given this book one single star, but the few hints of humor and lively spots kept me from throwing this book across the room and forgetting about it. This book in my opinion is not worth the time of checking out at a local library or purchasing at a bookstore. Though, the summary may give people the "thumbs up" for a outstanding, well written, witty book, obviously the contents quickly shoot down any ideas of a good reading material. The book starts off on a boring note, only to liven up at certain points, then only to drop to even more incredibly boring details about the lead character, Anthony's love life. There ARE good points but unfortunately are short lived. (The Rick/Jenn scenes were hilarious at the most part) Some of the characters don't seem to me exist in "reality", such as Turner who has given off the impression of being a clueless jerk, yet at some points is so clever enough to outwit Anthony himself. His parents are another story... Eventually the book follows Anthony into a big major plan of revenge to get back at Turner for making out of his UNinterested ex/girlfriend Dianna, who CLEARLY does not want to remain in a relationship with Anthony. Throughout the whole book we see Anthony get so caught up in getting revenge and seeking out that "knight in shining armor" image again he does not realize that the idea of getting back together with Dianna is slipping away more and more with his actions. Overall, I do not wish to read this book again, and I highly recommend you read or look up books such as "Falling Leaves". You will get your money's worth or time's worth with books, but unfortunately "Burgerwuss" does not deliver the same satisfaction.

Summary: Implausible Characters
Review: I didn't like the book because I felt the character development was lacking. Good writers make you believe that it's possible for their characters to exist in real life, but as I was reading Burger Wuss I kept thinking, "These people are so weird! I can't imagine anyone like them." It was just too unbelievable to think that people as strange as them could exist. Plus they were too one-sided...; they didn't really have depth.
