Reseñas de la Crítica

"If War and Peace had a baby with The Breakfast Club and then left the baby to be raised by wolves, this book would be the result. I loved it." – Jon Stewart

“Josh Lieb is on one of the great brave journeys in American literature. Or maybe he just signed my name to a blurb he wrote. Either way, you have to admit he’s brave. And the book is hilarious.” – Judd Apatow

“Pitch perfect…Every kid who’s ever felt put upon, misunderstood, and, let’s admit it, infinitely superior to his or her peers will laugh out loud as they enter Oliver’s hilarious secret world…” – BCCB, starred review

"Lieb perfectly captures the wise-guy sarcasm and trash mouth of a seventh-grade evil genius...This is a book kids will be talking about." – School Library Journal

"Similar to Artemis Fowl but without the supernatural element, Lieb's creative and twisted first novel gets a positive vote." – Kirkus

“Beware, kids: Once your parents pick it up, they won’t be able to put it down. (Guilty as charged.)” – New York Post

“Walter Mitty for teenagers, especially those who do not fit in. They will become huge fans of this book.” – VOYA

“Josh Lieb has set literature back a hundred years.” – Daniel Pinkwater

Wonderful story and narration

This is one of my favorite audiobooks ever, and I am nearly 50 years old! The narration is delightful. The main character is disgusting but fascinating. The book winds up pulling your heartstrings. I was shocked at the overall lowish rating for this book. it will appeal to those who like clever, subversive, sarcastic humor. Not apparently to those who don't like intelligent humor disguised as absurdity. On the face of it, it is a ridiculously juvenile plot and set of characters, but there is a ton of cleverness. I don't know how people could have missed it.

Wonderful

This book starts strongly, ends strongly, and is consistent all the way through. The characters are memorable, and the narrator, Oliver, is so fleshed out, you could probably imagine him sitting in your living room. I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of this book, and that's not an exaggeration--even the voice acting is superior. As a credit-hoarder, this is the utter definition of a credit-worthy novel, and I found myself laughing and smiling throughout my listen.

This is great

I am 13 and I enjoyed this book not only because it was funny it had life to it and the two chapters before the last one genius totally recommend.

Parents will like this one too

The narrator for this book was spot on. I've been recommending the book in either form since finishing it, and have gone back and listened to it again. I downloaded this book for my daughter, but wound up loving it myself.

Best light reading in a long, long time.

If you ever imagined what you would get when you blend Family Guy's Stewie with Pinky & The Brain and throw in South Park for good measure, you get I am A Genius of Unspeakable Evil and I Want to be Your Class President.

The books characters, plot and excellent narration will keep you on the edge of your seat, but hang on or you will fall over laughing. This book is great for parents and kids above the age of 10.
