Humorous


Lost In Yonkers

by Neil Simon

Summary

When two boys have to live with their “Frankenstein’s” Grandma, the boys learn some hard lessons. They at least learn something, but what about Bella. She seems a little, you know- closed for repairs. She has a learning problem and “she’s 35 years old and can make ice cream sundays. They don’t give you a high school diploma for getting the cherry on top on top of the whipped cream.” Luckily for her, Grandma owns a candy store and she makes the ice cream sundays. But when Bella makes a big announcement to the boys and the family, the tide changes drastically.

Review

This was a really funny PLAY. Yes I said play because it is in play form but it was easy to follow and I think that any one would like it. There are some rude remarks like “You’ve got balls kid.” and “Look in your pants.” and “You’ve got balls made of steel kid. You have basketballs.” There are a couple more along those lines but there is nothing really inappropriate as such. Just some rude remarks. There have some language, but nothing that a 11 or 12 year old would not have heard (not that I am saying rude words are good.) I think it would be a one time read but it was still pretty funny.

Hope that you enjoy it too!!!!!


The Bridesmaid

by Hailey Abbott
“Someone’s going to the chapel…..but will she get married?”

Summary

Abby and her sister, Carol, live at Dove Roots Chateau, which is a catering hall. Their parents cater for wedding parties. She and her sister promised never to get married because they see what happens to women when they get married. They turn into (dah, dah, dah) BRIDEZILLA’S!!!!!!!!! They go all mad and start thowing plates and get all “me, me, me.” So Abby and her sister promised never to get married. Then Carol goes to college and comes home for the summer with some big news. SHE WAS GETTING MARRIED. Abby knows this is the end of her sister. She knows that she will turn into a Bridezilla. She knows all hope is lost. The only time that she feels the slightest bit better is around Noah, and boy does he look hot with frosting in his hair. Obviously Carol has lost her mind. Will Abby loose hers or will both sisters kill each o

ther first???????

Review

This book was really funny with everything that was happening, from the throwing of plates to the screaming. I do not think I would read it again, because I think that it is a one time read book, but it still was very funny. I also would like to mention that the sisters are described very well from how their personalities are to how they react in different situations. It was pretty good, and I think that my readers will like it too (or at least I hope you do.)

Who is Hailey Abbott?????

The Secret DIARY OF ADRIAN MOLE aged 13 3/4 by Sue Townsend

Summary

‘I felt rotten today. It’s my mother’s fault for singing “My Way” at two o’clock in the morning at the top of the stairs. Just my luck to have a mother like her. There is a chance my parents could be alcoholics. Next year I could be in a children’s home.’

Adrian Moles life is not what you would call good. He has a huge spot on his face, his parents could be alcoholics and could be getting divorced, and he wants to be a poet for the BBC but he has been rejected 2 times. How much longer can he last before he absolutely explodes?????

Review

This book was really funny and really good.

Though there are some very important things that you need to know. There are some references to adolescence sexuality. It is not crass as some books are today, but it is definitely a book for kids 13 and over.

I would definitely recommend reading this book. It is extremely good and I personally would read it again.

There are many different covers for this book. This is my version.
