Makes kids love to read
My 10 year old loves this series. We always make sure to get the newest book as soon as it comes out. Great reading and makes kids love to read.
Silly Story/Important Message
For Whom the Ball Rolls is a kids book but it successfully deals with a number of mature themes: parental abandonment, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Stoicism. While the kids may not notice it, there are pretty strong lessons attached that, like the title, spring from Ernest Hemingway. These intertwined themes are the priority of action over feeling and the fact that human beings have some choice as to how they view the world. First, like clients of behavioral psychologists, the protagonists learn that what they do becomes what they are. If you act lovingly towards somebody you love them no matter what you may feel. Similarly, human beings can choose to focus on all that is wrong with the world or on what is right. Where one persons sees crowds of hypocritical lives, pollution and the extinction of much of the biosphere another can choose to focus on decreasing levels of abject poverty, technological improvement and a growing recognition of the rights of all men and women. Hemingway obviously deals with Stoic themes more profoundly throughout his writings than does Dog-Man. But for someone like me who tends to think these are good ideas, introducing them to kids in an age appropriate way is actually kind of important. And yet, the book isn’t preachy or heavy at all. It’s a good choice for parents who want their children to get some solid nourishment along with the usual silliness of a Dav Pilkey book. Highly recommended.
YEESH BOI, YEESH

Great book
My 7 years old loves these books. He sits there and reads the whole book and laughing because he finds it hilarious
What a hot mess!
I bought this book as a part of a 'buy two, get one free' offer. I had never heard of this series of books before. What got my attention was the clever title. I bought it in the hope that the book would be as clever as the title. As a free book, I definitely paid too much. Unlike other one star reviews, I found nothing wrong with the book's construction, the printing, or the text. The colors are great, the binding is solid, the text is clear and readable. I have not read the other books in the series so I don't have the advantage of a historical background, but the story line comes across fairly obviously. I guess I wasn't expecting the level of dysfunctional relationships that I found in this graphic novel. I don't find the problematic relationships illustrated in the stories very interesting. Incredibly neurotic story lines. I don't find the characters to be funny, I find them to be pathetic. I enthusiastically say: NOT RECOMMENDED.
