Rating: Summary: Burger Wuss is better than a happy meal Review: Spurned by love, the "Wuss" decides to exact revenge on his rival Turner enlisting a condiment troll, an anarchist, and a kegger in honor of Kermit McDermott. Great dialogue and non-stop laughs. Buy one for all your friends.
Rating: Summary: STARTS GOOD AND FADES Review: This book has a good starting. After about 20 pages, it totally flops. I usually like books like these but I was totally surprised by the rest of it. PLEASE STAY AWAY. I suggest Angus, Thongs, and Full Frontal Snoggings in replace for a good laugh. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS BORING BOOK.
Rating: Summary: Stupid Review: This book was boring, it was written at a young reading level. I quit reading in the middle. I don't reccomend this book for anyone 8th grade or over.
Rating: Summary: great book Review: This is a fabulously original, intelligent story about love, heartbreak, crappy jobs, and revenge. For those who thought the characters were "weird" and unrealistic, where the he** did you go to school? Every character was accurate, the details were outstanding. This novel is offbeat and at some points over the top. It stands out among the majority of "teen novels" by assuming the reader can appreciate a unique narrative and often biting humor. Plus, the cover is great! I recommend it.
Rating: Summary: Typical Review: This is the typical story of a boy who broke up with his girlfriend but still has feelings for her. I didn't like this book very much because it used many stereotypes of guys and girls. The humor was pretty weak. The only reason I gave it more than 1 star is because you can tell the author tried, and it's pretty honest. Maybe if you like teen angst books you might enjoy Burger Wuss more than I did.
Rating: Summary: For Everyone Review: This witty author picks an ideal setting to satirize the awkwardness and many pressures facing teenagers in America. The lovable main character goes through some really funny situations that everybody can relate to. This book is a pretty quick read and a sure thing for anybody looking for a delightful, fun book.
Rating: Summary: Sarcastic spin on familiar plot Review: Who hasn't been there? Your best friends are sickeningly in love while your own love life is in total disarray. You're tired of getting nowhere as the good guy while the big bully that is picking on you is a huge jerk and gets everything he wants while he's at it! All while you're at that age where everything bad seems like the end of the world. Agh... what to do!!In this case the nice guy or "Burger Wuss," Anthony loses his girlfriend to the incredible jerk, Turner. Not wanting to let it go Anthony decides to hatch a brilliantly evil scheme to instill revenge on Turner. This involves getting a job at O'Dermitts and starting a war between them and rival joint, Burger Queen. You have to love the fast food parodies! All in all a good quick read. The only problem I have are that I really took such a liking to Anthony that I hated to read about all the terrible things that happened to him. Luckily the ending was decent enough to pull it off though. Would definitely recommend this to hesitant young readers & I look forward to trying another one of M.T. Anderson's titles.
