Negative Positive
Title: The writing was excellent, the plot was shaky
Review: This book is full of hilarious scenes and interesting characters. However, it seems to be just a collection of stories. The bombing at the end seems sensational and does not tie the rest of the book together. Another problem I had was that the ten year old's personality changed drastically when the got to Alabama. Back in Flint, he was the perfect kid with the delinquent brother. When he gets to Alabama, he becomes disobedient. This was plot maniuplation to set up the Wool Pooh incident. I hope the author comes out with another book soon as he is an excellent writer. I'm not sure he's a children's writer, though.
