Compelling Aspect of the Book: The humor. One of the best parts is the way the two main characters view life and their situation. They also mouth off adults all the time, which is pretty amusing.
Did you finish: Yes
Were you disappointed with the book at all: This book suffered from lack of plot. The main characters never really had a purpose or something they were trying to do that they really accomplished. The ending made no sense, though that might just be setting up for the sequel.
Did the cover tempt you and/or reflect the contents of the book: The cover is very awesome. It has a red jacket that slips over the book and makes all the red writing disappear on the back. It's hard to explain, but it looks pretty cool.
