5.0 out of 5 stars A touching read... Not what I expected!, June 15, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Dear Napoleon, I Know You're Dead, But... (Paperback)

I noticed this book at a book fair in fifth grade, and brought it home, expecting (because of the title) a ludicrous, laugh-inducing romp through history. What I got instead was a touching, sometimes hilarious, sometimes sad book that had me fairly glowing with pleasure after I finished it.

This is definetely a worthwhile read, and a good buy. :-)

5.0 out of 5 stars Touching, Great Read., January 28, 2012

Shirtisred - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dear Napoleon, I Know You're Dead, But... (Paperback)

I first noticed this book in my 5th grade teachers' book shelf. I thought this would be just silly story between a boy and Napoleon, but boy was I wrong.

This was an AMAZING read. Very interesting, with some moments being funny and some extremely sad.

One of my favorite books :)

I definitely recommend it!
