review 1: This book is a (very) short tease of the type of shenanigans a reader can expect from the Barry Loser book series. It was my first look at the series and though I was only mildly entertained, I think the target audience of 5-10 year olds might be more amused. In this quick read, Barry's dad tries to show Barry he has good taste in superheroes, but Barry is not impressed. He does however leave quite an impression on the loft roof! Free in the UK Kindle store, so can't complain really. I am going to check out other books at some point just to explore the popularity of this series.
review 2: I feel a bit nasty only giving this book one star, but to be fair it was all it deserved. The book is ridiculously short and to be fair, plain boring. In fact, it’s not even... more mildly enjoyable, admittedly I’m not the audience which the book is intended for but this is not a book I’d want to share with children. A lot of words are spelt phonetically rather than in a grammatically correct manner e.g. “unkeel” instead of uncool. It’s a minor annoyance but when added up with all the other little nuances, it just doesn’t make for an enjoyable read.The plot to the story is practically non-existent. I don’t say that lightly, it truly is a book of nothing. It’s boring, quite dull and it’s only redeeming feature is the illustrations which are quite enjoyable. I’m extremely glad that it’s a free book on Amazon and I have no intentions of either buying a physical copy of the book or ever reading it again. There are plenty more books out there which are far more suitable for younger children that they will derive a lot more pleasure from!Did not enjoy reading this at all. Not sure what the practical usage of this book is with children though it is mildly entertaining. Definitely not a book you might wish to revisit after reading once. less
