Customer Reviews

Not Kindness, but KID Ness

I had this book nearly, oh, six years ago,a nd somehow it got lost! Well he neat things about this book is that is pretty surreal, and you feel you're in the war with Skinny. You meet all kinds of weird people, like Alice ( a wild (savage) girl) who helps Skinny.Mr. Foreclosure, the antagonist is- would you believe it- an ANT. Dealing with the Liquidation machine is cool, too. This book is a must read.

Like most sequels, not as good as the original

This book is a sequel to The War Between the Pitiful Teachers and the Splendid Kids, which was a great book! Skinny Malinky Leads the War for Kidness picks up where the previous book left off. Kids who had not yet been put through the Status Quo Solidifier are running things and those who had are serving them. The book leads us to a more satisfying conclusion. It's definitely in the same vein as the first book, and kinda funny, but not a must-read as I would say The War Between the Pitiful Teachers and the Splendid Kids is.

A hilarious satire.

This book is a commentary on the deplorable condition of public schools and the complete ignorance and vinictiveness of the Teachers, only put in exaggerated terms of full scale war. Very funny, very well written.
