G's Reviews > Just Wacky

While reading this, I was thinking, "Why would the author make another book about crazy adventures that Andy has?" I mean, almost all the stories in all the books are the same. Andy does some pretty crazy stuff and more often than not, gets caught and gets in even bigger trouble. But while looking for the right word to describe Andy's adventures in this book, I found myself struggling and finally relenting myself to use the term, 'wacky'. I guess the book's title does fit the 9 short stories here. Andy was just plain wacky.

In the 4th installment of the Just series, I found myself rushing through the stories. When I picked the book up, I realized that this book was thicker than all the other books. It's funny because it also has 9 stories like the last 2 books. I then realized that one of this book's stories had a different 'format' from the rest. That was quite surprising. I never expected to see something like that. But then again, this is a pretty crazy series. It kind of reminded me of The Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket.

Among the 9 stories, I found myself liking quite a lot of the stories here. I liked 'Band-Aid', 'A Crazy, Bad, Dumb, Bad, Bad, Dumb, Crazy, Bad Idea', 'Trash', 'Kittens, Puppies and Ponies', 'Learn to Read with Andy' and 'Mudmen'. To summarize, in these 9 stories, Andy was just crazy. He's obviously a very imaginative boy who sort of liked to do things differently. Andy's difference is what people find funny and what attracts people to the series.
