Customer Reviews

This is the funniest book I've ever read!

This is one of my favorite books of all time. Rick Norman's use of comedy and tradegy really set this book apart from others. I would reccomend this book to anyone. I even wrote about it in my column in the local newspaper. I just wish there was a sequel. I think that if you read any book at all, this one will surpass it by far.

This was the greatest book I have ever read.

This book was just so amazing. When my teacher's read it aloud to the class everyone just sat listening to them anticipating what was going to happen next. When we got done reading it I felt so close to all of the characters and I was disappointed that the book was over because it was so good. I would really like to read another book from Rick Norman and I hope it is as good as Fielder's Choice
