Negative Positive
Title: anti-intellectual
Review: This book and the series in general appear to be part of the wave of ignorant-is-good anti-intellectualism drowning our culture. We were given a few books from the Junie B. series to read aloud to our son, who loves Beverly Cleary. Needless to say, the comparison is inapt (and insulting to Ms Cleary). I'm happy this author (?) can crank these out so readily (yet such frenetic production should be a red flag about quality), but reading an ill-written, unrealistic story with an unrepentantly rude antihero to your child squanders the time you spend trying to have a positive influence on him/her.
Is the review positive or negative?
