Product Description

Product Description
Brought together for the first time in one bumper volume, here are Michael Gerbers hilarious parodies, Barry Trotter and the Shameless Parody, Barry Trotter and the Unnecessary Sequel and Barry Trotter and the Dead Horse. Relive the whole ghastly tale of Barry Trotter, Lon Measley and Ermine Cringer. Amusingly, the story starts when Barry is 22 and shiftless, goes on to tell what happened when he was 39 and pathetic and then, because we couldn't think what do next but needed to crank out one more book, zips back, via a supremely unlikely plot device, to when he was 9 and just plain vile. Laugh! at Lord Valumart's bizarrely inept attempts to kill Barry. Wonder! just how Bumblemore got to be headmaster. Heave! at Lons toilet habits. Sigh! when you realise that it isn't a Harry Potter book after all. What? You've only just worked that out? And now youve bought this book? And you cant find the receipt? Oh dear, oh dear.

3.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining Parody, 28 Aug 2006
By Gareth Wilson "drosdelnoch2" - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
As usual, if somethings successful then a parody will arrive at some point, here is a collection of those that are entertaining enough. Who will it appeal to, well fans and those who have loathed the bespectacled little git. I may not be the biggest HP fan in the world but this book entertained me and gave me a good chuckle and for that its getting a positive vote from me.
