Carter Finally Gets It

review 1: Not as fantastic as the first book, but more realistic than the second. Carter is still funny and smart and easily distracted, and Nick the narrator still does a fabulous job reading it, but Carter's life is not the potential disaster that it was in the first book, which reduces the hilarity somewhat. I appreciate the Carter books especially because, unlike many YA books the scenario seems real. He has parents and a sister who are supportive and affectionate - not something you find in many YA books. In fact, when I was doing a book talk with some high school students, one asked, "Does someone die at the beginning of all these books?" which is so true. Carter still has to figure out many things for himself but he does not grow up alone.
review 2: And we're back... more to the Carter I know and love. I mean, honestly, this guy cracks me up. He gets in ridiculous situations but I love every minute of it. Some people have reviewed these negatively saying they are basically wish fulfillment reading for teen boys, but so what? I would argue that many if not most books are wish fulfillment books. That's kinda the point of reading sometimes. Really can't wait for the next one! less
