Book Review: Just Stupid!


Review:  #276
Title:  Just Stupid!
Series:  Just! - 3rd book
Author:  Andy Griffiths
Read Before:  yes
My Comments:  A pretty interesting book, and like the title suggests, most of the stories are pretty stupid.  I mean, having one that has the classical “it’s only a dream” at the end, that’s surely different.  The illustrations were more of a distraction rather than a complement to the story, and most of the time, they were very… well, just stupid.  A few of the stories were boring and knowing that they were going to be shallow didn't really help.  One thing that you’ll feel is how unfair it is sometimes for the protagonist, Andy.  Why?  Coz it seems that whenever he is about to achieve something good, it always go back for him, and that’s really quite sad sometimes.  The Page Number Snail provided some good laughs, and some stories are more inventive that you would have expected.  I wouldn't wholeheartedly recommend this, but if it sounds interesting, it’s definitely worth a read.
