2.0 out of 5 stars Too many outdated cultural references for intended age group, March 10, 2009

Mother on the Brink "Mother on the Brink" (Suburbs, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Zack Files 10: Bozo the Clone (Paperback)

My daughter is reading this at school. She was having trouble with it and I looked it over - it has tons of outdated cultural references in the first few chapters. Any one of these would be fine, but they are just piled in there, line after line: The Three Stooges, Elvis on black velvet, tighty-whities, pantsing, The Abominable Snowman ... etc.
The story line looks interesting but I wonder if she will ever get into it, since she is stumbling over too many things that have to be explained right at the beginning of the book.
