Title: Just Doomed!
Series: Just! - 8th book
Author: Andy Griffiths
Read Before: no
My Comments: You can tell that the author is running out of ideas when he reuses the same style/structure of stories in previous books. The jokes are getting stale because we have all seen them before. I was quite sick of the short story that is posed as a choose-you-own adventure (it was great the first time around but not anymore) and the list of things that indicate you’re ‘doomed’ (substitute the words inside the apostrophes with another book title and chances are, it exists as a short story). Half of the book feels unoriginal, and the illustration quality has dropped too, reusing old concepts and not filling as much of the page as they used to. Some of the stories are still good and fun. It’s too bad that you can guess quite accurately the endings to all the stories.
