I enjoyed the first one on audio, so wanted the second one the same way.<br /><br />I totally get the lack of enthusiasm over a troublemaker type, but as you know, I just didn't see Charlie Joe as that ilk.<br /><br />It takes all kinds :) And I'm looking forward to this one.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03789250398792504412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22559214.post-47305897304174995122012-08-07T08:14:54.167-04:002012-08-07T08:14:54.167-04:00Jen- it's definitely not a book that a lot of ...Jen- it's definitely not a book that a lot of adults get behind, but I did like it more than Wimpy Kid. At least I liked Charlie Joe! I do think the romance is handled nicely, and it's funny, but apparently (given the very heated Cybils debate we had about it) Not Great Literature!Ms. Yinglinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17805324364289597178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22559214.post-2411830256622420882012-08-06T22:51:53.559-04:002012-08-06T22:51:53.559-04:00I'm kind of like the other commenters...Charli...I'm kind of like the other commenters...Charlie Joe Jackson just isn't for me. It really bothers me that he didn't really change much in the first one. I haven't read this second one (and I really don't plan to) because the first one was just worthless to me. I'm sorry but I like a little bit of character development in the books I read. It's the same reason I couldn't continue with the Wimpy Kid series. <br /><br />Sorry to get ranty, I'm just not a fan. That said, we aren't always going to agree on books, right?

The fact that the books fly off the shelves of your library means I should probably give Charlie another chance.<br /><br />(Love your description of middle school kids being "well-meaning but often misguided.")Michael G-Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07947421844294471304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22559214.post-69441274192098785722012-08-06T13:51:57.190-04:002012-08-06T13:51:57.190-04:00Figured I'd leave the comment here (left it in...Figured I'd leave the comment here (left it in reply to yours over at Project Mayhem).<br /><br />It sounded like you liked it quite a bit based on your review. I read it earlier. Love your blog. I'm a regular stalker, I mean, visitor. Glad to see you so actively searching for books for boys. Maybe sometime soon I'll have a few of my own to send your way. You are easily my favorite online librarian!Mike Winchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11771482167997501541noreply@blogger.com
