4.0 out of 5 stars Fun read for adult and kids alike!, February 29, 2004

This review is from: Ninjas, Piranhas, and Galileo (Hardcover)

My roomate's 8th grade son picked out this book from the local library, originally for his little sister in second grade. But when I started reading, I couldn't put it down.

I found this book a very fun read. When I was reading, I was laughing all the time, The humor is alot like in the hitchhiker's guide, the 3 main characters reminded me the 3 muskerteers in Harry Potter, especially Honoria with Hormeone. I hope the author will do a series of book base on these 3 lively characters :)

Kids into science, law or Japanese culture should find lots they can related with.

Since I live in Austin, Hail! another wonderful Austin writer (if Greg do identify himself with Austin, Ha!)!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Fabulous First Novel (both you and your kids will love), October 18, 2003

This review is from: Ninjas, Piranhas, and Galileo (Hardcover)

My boyfriend and I both loved this book. As a Children's Book Buyer for an independant bookstore, I am truly happy to recommend this title to my customers. I most highly recommeded this title for Chicagoans and private school kids. The story combines all the best of romance, schoool drama, science writing and family relations. We can't wait to see where Greg goes from here. I look forward to more and you will too!

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Ninjas, Piranhas, and Galileo (Hardcover)

The book Ninjas, Piranhas, and Galileo was an astounding book. This book had all the exciting parts down perfectly. I loved the sorrow parts. They were as bitter as bitter could get. It dragged out all of the parts that weren't all that exciting. My favorite character was Freddie M-K. She was absolutely hysterical. She gives the nickname " `Crazy' about the wilderness," a whole new meaning. Although, I thought that Mr. Eden was absolutely snobby, rude and obnoxious. He gave no consent about anything unless it has to deal with him. I think that this book is not to be read by anyone who need a book that starts off with action and lots of it. This is more of a book that gradually moves into the action area. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves an unsuspecting turn of events at the moment of truth. I would also recommend the book to anyone that has an inner sense of humor.
