Product Description

Product Description
Contains BARRY TROTTER AND THE SHAMELESS PARODY, BARRY TROTTER AND THE UNNECESSARY SEQUEL and the all new BARRY TROTTER AND THE DEAD HORSE. Supplied in a high-tech biodegrable, epoxy resin fixed, folded paper-pulp display case (cardboard box), these three books tell the ghastly tale of Barry Trotter, Lon Measley and Ermine Cringer. Amusingly, the story starts when barry is 22, goes on to tell what happened when he was 39 and then, because we couldn't think what do next, zips back, via a supremely unlikely plot device, to when he was 9. Laugh! at Lord Valumart's bizarrely inept attempts to kill Barry. Wonder! just how Bumblemore got to be headmaster. Sigh! when you realise that it isn't a Harry Potter book after all. What? You've only just worked that out? Oh dear, oh dear.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worth reading!!, 22 April 2008

By	E. Morris (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I couldn't disagree more with the other review! While I admittedly haven't read all three yet, I've read the first, and I think that the other customer misses the point. It is blatantly based on the Harry Potter series, with characters and plots being manipulated to suit the story... (Barry Trotter and the Philosophers Scone)

The names say it all, with all the characters having a different spin such as Barry Trotter himself who's still in Hogwash after 11 years, Lord Valumart whose on the Dork (Dark) side, Lon Measley (who's been hit in the head with a basher) and Serious Blech, to name a few.

If you're a Harry Potter fan with a sense of humour I would say that these books are worth a read, due to their hilarious if rather plot holed story. But this is redeemed in itself as the author admits to this in the book, using whitty satire and sarcasm to blag his way through what otherwise would have been a terrible book.

I'd say that this book is worth a read if you don't take the book seriously and just take the many random and illogical twists and turns as they come!

By	Lex (bucks uk) - See all my reviews

Don't read this book! Don't even pick it up if you see it in a bookstore!
The Barry Trotter series is a mixture of the origal Harry Potter books,extremely badly thought out plots,boring characters and swear words!
Don't buy it!
