No More Dead Dogs Review

I liked this book since the moment I started reading it. The characters were all very well placed and it felt real. I liked how the book's different chapters represented different characters views on the plot. Great book for children who are 10-16 years old. It was all very interesting but at times it seemed just a little dull. An easy pick-up for a car-ride or light-reading! Overall I enjoyed it a lot. ;D ****

THIS EDITION IS INTENDED FOR USE IN SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES ONLY. Truthful Wallace gives a thumbs-down to a book much to the chagrin of his English teacher, who sentences him to help with a stage version of the book. Wallace is unaware that his plot-improve

My search for humorous adolescent literature must continue. - B. Gibford - California
I have been looking for a book for junior high students that was both humorous and interesting. I purchased this book hoping it would be the answer based on other reviews...it isn't.

It takes town where the most important thing in everyones life appears to be the junior high school football team (like that's believable). Not the high school, but the junior high. Through a fluke play, a bench warmer wins the championship and all of a sudden everyone thinks he's the best player on the team, including most of the team.(In what world does that ever happen?)

Through various circumstances, he ends up involved in the school play (that part is believable). But someone is trying to sabotage the play and he is the prime suspect. As he becomes more and more involved in the play, and more committed to the kids and cast, attempts at sabotage continue. Finally, everyone believes it's him (the part I really found unrealistic).

The story ends happy. I failed to find much humor in it, or things I believe middle school students would find humorous. Therefore my search goes on. The story has potential, would make more sense in a high school rather than a junior high setting where things like football and drama are important to a town, and if some of the "framings" were a little better thought out so that it would be reasonable that kids would turn on poor but innocent Wallace.

I just keep reading the book thinking, "That's not what would happen." The irony is the whole story is based on Wallace hating a story they read in class because that's not what would happen.

good book for boys - Becky A. Skillin - Quito, Ecuador, South America
My child isn't a dog lover but was rolling over on the bed laughing, reading passages aloud from this. Fit the 10 year old mentality well, the hatred of sappy, personal writing, the quest for unique ideas, friendship. It's all in there. Word play effective and the story line encouraging. Glad I purchased it.

WORST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO LIFE. - Ihatenomoredeaddogs - hell.
This book ushered me into a period of depression and suicidal urges. As I turned each page, my soul was ripped into a million black pieces. Not only was this book not funny, unintelligent, crudely written and desperate to appeal to children, it also had satanic undertones. Wallace Wallace is a horrible name, and if I ever met anyone named that I would kill them on the spot. Not only by association, but because someone with a name like that would be seriously disturbed and therefore a menace to society. The plot was a ridiculous mishmosh of stereotypes and obnoxious, non believable characters with minimal conflict between them. God, I hated this book. I had to set fire to the young adult section of Barnes & Nobles to rid myself of it. I would rather be a dead dog than read this again.
