 | Not the Best... Mar 1, 2005 |
This book was OK, but not as good as I hoped. There were a few slight changes that the author made, which kind of confused me.
Well, in the story, there's a villian named Outback Jack, and his sidekick is a sock puppet. (Not so original, considering that Awful Alvin, another villian in some other books, has a lamp as a side kick). There's a file they steal from the newspaper office that tells them about treasure map on the face of a clock.
But, at the beginning of the book, Larry is called Lawrence once.
Not that I don't like the name, but the nickname Larry seems to make more sense for him. Also, the author played around with Larryboy's secret identity (Or secret identities in this book)
which confused me a lot.
This book is good. I read it sometimes. It's just that the other books in this series seem to make more sense than this one. Most things are much different in this one than in the others. | | |  | Um... Oct 19, 2004 |
Now, don't let this review fool you.
I love the Larryboy books, and the movies!
However, this book didn't really measure up.
This is the only book that I wasn't really sastified with. This is not to say that I didn't enjoy it. Larryboy is adorable, and Pruneman is a good addition. There are even a few inside jokes. (In Chapter 15, for example, Larryboy shouts to "three scallions". Trust me, if you've seen VeggieTales, you'll get it.)
However, at the end, it didn't seem fully fleshed. Outback Jack was not exactly, in my opinion, a very interesting villian. He's neither scary nor very lovable, which is a problem because every other villian has been either one or the other. Not to mention the bad guy whose sidekick is an inanimate object has been done before! (See the Awful Ear Wacks Attacks.)
The plot seems a little strange. Maybe I read it too fast, but it didn't seem to make much sense.
Is this recomended? Well, it depends. If you want to read every single book in the series, go ahead. Anyone who doesn't care about reading every book can skip it.
