5.0 out of 5 stars The One Book I Would Bring On A Desert Island, 23 Aug 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: 5 Novels: Alan Mendelsohn, the Boy from Mars; Slaves of Spiegel; The Last Guru; Young Adult Novel; The Snarkout Boys and the Avo (Paperback)

I am a life-long voracious reader. I read a book or so a week. I have been surrounded by books all my life, and I enjoy all kinds of literature.

That being said.... I have never read a better book in my life, on this planet, than The Young Adult Novel.

I first read it over 15 years ago, and it continues to influence and inspire my thinking. I wish they still published it by itself. I would give it as a gift to everyone I know.

It is a favorite friend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Damn Thing Since Huck Finn Sailed The Atlantic, 4 Aug 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: 5 Novels: Alan Mendelsohn, the Boy from Mars; Slaves of Spiegel; The Last Guru; Young Adult Novel; The Snarkout Boys and the Avo (Paperback)

What can I say...The Literary Jelly Donut has made living agood thing. In a day and age of kids with guns and stand offs in ruby ridge and everyday violence and horror, it is refreshing to read of a simpler way of life. A way where kids do not need guns because frankly they are smarter than the adults anyway. A world where kids are the superior ones because after all they are down with things. I have found the perfect cure for bi-polarity and for other mental ilnesses that plague humanity...a good dose of Daniel Pinkwater. Here's to you oh Mighty King. I would give him 10 stars but it was not listed. END

By A Customer

This review is from: 5 Novels: Alan Mendelsohn, the Boy from Mars; Slaves of Spiegel; The Last Guru; Young Adult Novel; The Snarkout Boys and the Avo (Paperback)

i have a copy of every single book by this man. he is insane and/or a genius.. develops these atrociously bizarre yet totally believable concepts and then passes them off as everyday occurrances.. i love it i love it i love it!! long live absurdity!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great stuff for the kids...adults, too.
This guy's warped, in a good way. Modern-day chickens are the degenerated race of ancient super-chickens? Even today an occasional throwback chicken is as smart as Einstein? Read more

This book not only makes you laugh, it also makes you think - what if Alan really WAS a Martian, and we COULD go to Hogsboro and go into "state twenty-six"? Read more
