Customer Reviews

This book is a great to read for everyone.

I think Poison Ivy And Eyebrow Wigs is a great book to read for everybody. I got my evidence that this is just a great book for people to read from the Internet and Library. The story is about a boy that tries to make it in the fourth grade. He wants to be with the cool pack of kids. People are always talking about his bushy eyebrows and one day he decided to trem them. After he cut them they were messed up with bold spots. This story has some very funny situations. I love this book because it is funny , it has a lot of different kids of characters , and I think it is well-paced but the story still goes fast. If you read this book you would have trouble putting it down and to stop laughing. This book is very hilarious !!! One of the most funny parts is when the main character Martin shaves his eyebrows because they are to bushy. He ends up with bold spotted uneven cut eyebrows and he glues some hair on the top of his eyebrows to patch up his mistake. I couldn't stop laughing. One reader called this book "hilarious". As you know I relay stand by that idea. This book has a lot of different kinds of characterization. There are a lot of point of views from different characters. One reader said it has dozens of different people. It has a lot of different personalities in it. They have the kind of kids that want to run around with the cool pack. They have the joker kids that do not relay care about any thing. They also have the smart geky kids that don't care to be cool. I also think the book is good because it goes at a good pace. The book doesn't rush throw the story and leave out details. It also doesn't go throw the book slowly and puts you to sleep. That is why I think this book is well-paced. One reader said "This well-paced , fast-moving story includes some incidents of typical sibling rivalry and is told with sympathetic humor." I agree on everything this reader said. Yes this book has incidents of typical sibling rivalry. The kid has the same problems of an every day kid. Kids could really relate to this book. Some people think the plot is to superficial. The kid goes out of his way to be with the cool kids. It tries to be a deep story and a funny at the same time. One reader said the plot was very superficial. I think the plot was not superficial , I think it was a very true plot. It also told a lot about what kids have to go throw these days. The book was not very original because it has the same plot as many other books. One reader said this book is not original. I think this book doesn't use a new plot but it takes this kind of plot to a new level by adding humor. In this story they have quick deft characterization of a dozen of different people. Even though they have they quick characterizations of different people if the try to focus on each person in this story we wouldn't have a main character. These are all my opinions on this book , and I relay think th
