review 1: I thought this was definitely an above average middle grade book. The characters were vividly depicted, and the action built to an almost continuous space. We read this to my 5 year old, and he enjoyed it, and seemed to retain a lot of the detail from chapter to chapter, which definitely speaks well for the writing style. Also, it imparts the lesson about the importance of facing one's fears, without being preachy. Overall, a lot of fun.
review 2: Considering this was co-written by Jason Segel, I'm disappointed that it wasn't better. I predicted the end at the beginning, so there wasn't much to look forward to going in. Also, Charlie's character arc allows him to show growth in the relationship he has with his stepmom, but the very last line in the epilogue ta... morekes all that growth away. I realize it was probably meant to be funny, but it's unnecessary; the editor should have changed it. less

This was much too long and drawn out. Overtly detailed. Not an easy read.

Admittedly I only started reading this because my siblings and I met Jason in Boston and are big fans of his movies. But the story is really well written. It's even more meaningful when you understand how personal the story is for Jason as a reflection of his own childhood. Great read, cute story, well written. :)
