4.0 out of 5 stars funny, very enjoyable, gobble down all at once..., 28 Oct 2003

J. B. Bowley "Jo" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: How To Train Your Parents (Paperback)
Before Louis (12) moved house, his parents were pretty easy-going. However, to Louis' dismay, he finds his new school is full of geeks (bods, swots) who live for 'A' grades and attend after school groups such as 'French Club'. Louis is happy with his 'C' grades but his parents, seeing how the other parents push their kids to do well, start to think they are failing Louis and his little brother Elliott by not doing the same and begin to put pressure on them both to do better at school. They even start sitting in Louis' room, watching him do his homework! Luckily, Louis meets Maddis, whose parents give her all the space she needs. She soon explains to Louis the parent training programme he needs to follow to get his parents off his back.

This book is written as Louis' diary. He wants to be a comedian and so throws in the odd corny joke or two but the diary entries themselves are really funny - letting you know all the strange things his parents have been doing. This is one of those books that you pick up and don't put down until you have finished. Probably best for ages 8-12 (although older people may enjoy it too), both boys and girls and particularly anyone feeling annoyed with their parents!

4.0 out of 5 stars How to train your parents- For childrens eyes ONLY!, 25 Jan 2011
A Kid's Review
This review is from: How To Train Your Parents (Paperback)
Skimming through my shelf of books at home, looking for a classic book to write my review on, I came across "How to train your parents" by Pete Johnson.
A really comic read, one of those books that you pick up and can't EVER put down. I would be up all night reading this, and I couldn't help it when I came to laughing at how hilarious the whole plot was. I read this 3 years ago... I am now 11 and I can still remember what laughs were crammed into this book. It shows truth in depth and Louis whom is the main character isn't afraid to notify his emotions to us.
The story is based on Louis's story, he has presently moved to Swotsville and he loathes the whole place, his school is a calamity and he repulses the tow he lives in and all of the people who dwell in it... How is he ever going to cope?
With continuing his diary entries, you as the reader will be able to highlight his hopes and dreams gradually slipping downhill into his worst nightmare.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quality Comedy, 18 Nov 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: How To Train Your Parents (Paperback)
This book is really comic and it made me laugh for ages. How To Train Your Parents is about a young boy called Lewis and his best mate, Theo. Lewis is trying to be a stand-up comedian because it is his life-long ambition but his grades in class are not as good as they should be so he is not allowed any TV or any treats. Lewis cheats. He strikes a deal with Theo and gets round his parents. Find out if Lewis becomes the comedian that he wants to be in this exciting and humourous book. All ages and all comedy lovers will find this book addictive.
