The last portion of this review contains nothing more than a rant about how I ended up purchasing this book It's got some really poignant moments in it! Wait till you get to the part about menstruation! You'll laugh, and laugh, and laugh.ģ) Your idea of comedy gold includes the words Knock, Knock.Ĥ) You think dying of boredom sounds like a good way to end it all I think you'll really get a lot out of Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. Seriously, if I was looking for a way to get my son to hate reading, I would have just handed him a Judy Blume book. How fucking dorky do you have to be for a mom to say, ' Yeah, I bought this for my kid, but I can't give it to them, because it's too childish.'. I'm a middle-aged woman, and I thought it was lame. It wasn't new, clever, or even remotely funny. A carbon copy! It's the graphic novelization of the 1960's Batman television series. This was nothing more than practically a word-for-word rehash of the old tv show. You know, to poke fun at itself in some sort of a clever way. I also expected it to be smart and funny. I expected it to a be tongue-in-cheek nod towards simpler times. A throwback, if you will, to the days when Batman was a bit more campy and fun. I knew going into this that it was an Adam West sort of Batman book. And I'm about to throw myself all over this stupid book and it's glowing reviews.
