## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Banal Common Core Crud
  

*by T***Y on Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2014*

I guess the "common core" endorsement should have been my first red flag, but I kept an open mind. With a few notable exceptions (Scieszka's illustrated story being the only one I can think of at the moment) these stories range form the mundane to the grotesque and in fact these seem to be the consistent themes throughout. Hoping for true stories of courage, resourcefulness (aside from drinking one's own urine in the Sahara), and overcoming odds by reliance on positive human qualities to inspire my young reader, I was sorely disappointed. I have no idea why George Washington is on the cover because there is no story about him or crossing the Delaware River to raid the Hessians in this book, that I could find. But this too is consistent with the sinister joy destroying bait and switch banality that has been the consistent vice of every piece of common core approved material I have ever come across. If this is the kind of thing that is supposed to replace classic literature in our classroom then the whole thing is truly worse than I thought. I will not keep this book on my shelf, even next to deteriorating pulp-pop paperbacks I find on the street, and regret my choice to buy it. Stick to the classics.

    My 9-year-old loves Guys Read
  

*by F***E on Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2019*

I bought all of them, and he read all of them. With each chapter written by a different real author, he was able to make a list of authors he wants to explore. Then off to the library we went!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great book for 10-year old boy
  

*by E***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2017*

This was a gift for my 10-yr old son (a heavy reader) and has quickly become one of his favorite books.  I think he has read it at least 10 times in the last two months.
