This book is AWESOME! And I got it from my schools "Lunch Bunch" Idea! And I love it! And thats a little weird because I don't like reading as much..?

Oh, I accidentally deleted my review of this book. So, I am adding it back. I like this book because it is really funny. I love reading books that are funny. It is funny because Charlie is finding all the ways to not reading. It is funny because you end up reading if you want to know how not to read.

This was definitely not on of my favorite books by far. Too childish to say the least. However, I know plenty of people who would like it! It reminds me of Diary of a Wimpy Kid and the other graphic comedy chapter books.

Do you like to read? What about not liking to read? I bet Charlie Joe Jackson doesn't like reading more than anybody in the whole universe. Finally he reaches middle school, where reading, is something that you can't avoid. What will Charlie Joe Jackson do, to stop reading?
