Customer Reviews

Good overall

I thought this book was very good overall. the begining was boring but it got much better. It was a little short though. This book would probably be good for someone who just wants a short read. You might have to get past the boring begining though.

A really, really funny book!!

The cover and title of this book turned me off, but after reading a couple of chapters, I couldn't put it down!! It's really funny! I do think to really appreciate the one-liners and situations, the reader should be 13 to 17. Younger kids just wouldn't get the humor. Iris is hysterical, and the characters play off each other so well you wish you could meet them after you're done the book. It's hard to find a humorous young adult novel. If you appreciate funny books, don't pass this one up.
