My (...) son is a bright student, but a reluctant reader. It is always difficult finding chapter books he is interested in reading. We purchased the entire (...) series (three in all) and he hasn't put them down since they arrived. Warning to the sensitive: the book are full of "gross" humor, butit is harmless....nothing boys don't talk about already!

Zombie Butts From Uranus by Andy Griffiths is actually a suprisingly good read... Unless you consider yourself mature and old enough to not laugh at fart jokes. I'm considered mature by various people, and yet I still find myself laughing my head off while reading this book. And I also suggest reading The Day My Butt Went Psycho!, also by Andy Griffiths first.

The book is about a kid named Zack Freeman who is trouble by a very, VERY, rude butt. Zack is a good-willed but clusmy sort of kid who strives to be a butt hunter like all of his heros. Already widely considered a great butt hunter because of his heroic efforts in the first book, he finds himself failing at a Butt Hunters Training Academy and ultimately quits because he is tired of failing. But unbeknonwst to him, his parents (who frequently are on "tours" with an "orchestra") are butt hunters on a mission to Uranus when thousands of dead butts are reanimated bye an enormous explosion on the planet. Then the zombie butts go and attack Earth and yadda yadda... I don't want to ruin the ending.

Zombie Butts From Uranus is a book that one should read more than once. Just like if you watch a movie multiple times in a brief period, you begin to notice all of the little things that don't seem that important, but provide a few extra laughs. And one thing that you have to do is read the covers and warning on the inside cover page. But this should deffiantly be a read for any young kid who wants to laugh.

We all know kids like to joke about butts and use doubl3 meanings to say things they usually can't get away with. That is the whole premise of this book, which is a sequel to "The Day My Butt Went Psycho!". Zack and his butt-fighting team protect the earth from rogue butts. A new foul enemy attacks, the Zombie Butts, and their goal is to take over the planet. My son in 4th grade got a big kick out of this and read it cover to cover.

Zack Freeman skied down a steep snow-covered slope on a crisp sunny winter morning, completely unaware that he was about to be engulfed by a deadly crapalanches.
Crapalanche!
This book is about an army of zombie butts who try to take over the world. This book is the sequel to the book The Day My Butt Went Psycho. I hope that you enjoy this book as much as I did.

So we bought these books for our VERY good 3rd grade reader. It's hard to find something that holds her interest and that is long enough for her not to finish in just one setting. While as a mom I thought the premise of the books and their toilet humor was gross she LOVED the idea. Well to my dismay not only is the word "crap" used multiple times but also "damn". For a children's series I just felt that was completely unnecessary and now have chosen not to let her finish the series since these are not words that she needs to add to her vocabulary... Major bummer... Just wish someone would have warned us first... Augh!

My son who is 11 hates to read. When forced to do so he enjoys Captain Underpants, Geronimo Stilton and comic books and loves to hear me read. We found this book and he started it and loved it. He has now read it all the way thru, it is his first book that he completed on his own. He has listened and enjoyed Skippy John Jones, Ordinary Boy, Percy Jackson, Harry Potter but never really read anything alone all the way thru until now. Yes, this book is disgusting, gross and full of potty reference but I dare you to name a boy between the age of 8-14 who isn't the exact same way. I applaud any book that can hold the interest of a boy of this age when football, video games and Legos are all calling his name.

My ten-year old son loved this book. After speaking with him, he would like to recommend this book for readers age 9 to 11. It has a lot of "potty" humor, which he loves, but nothing that made him feel awkward or uncomfortable. This is the second book in a trilogy. Book one was "The Day My Butt Went Psycho," this was book two, and book three "Butt Wars: The Final Conflict," is the current read. In his opinion, all three are equally good. "It's just really funny, Mom!"

I really want to get this book. I already have the first book, so I should give you all a little synopsis on...
HOW TO SURVIVE BUTTS.

Step One: Your Butt and You
Your butt can detach at will if it wants to. So, you should always be careful to keep an eye out for a runaway butt.

Step Two: How to be Prepared
A good butt fighter always needs to have his equipment. Here is a list of some things you will need to survive butts. You need a butt magnet, a few butt-guns, a tennis racket, a pointy stick, a Laxative Launcher, a net, and a cake of soap.

Step Three: How to Know A Butt
Butts come in all variations. Feral butts are runaway butts that have totally forgotten about their former rules. Runaway butts are butts detached from their owners. Rogue butts are wild and untamed. Kamikaze butts are butts that can blow themselves up. Nuclear butts are two or more butts mashed together, which can be fired from a Nuclear Butt launcher. Buttguards are butts that protect important butts.

Step Four: How to Know Your Obstacles
Butt boulders are many butts mashed together that can crush anything that gets under it. Buttcanoes are extinct volcanoes that have been colonized by butts. No more for this section.

Step Five: The Great White Butt
The great white butt is the leader of all the butts. Some say he was a side effect of nuclear testing. Others say an egyption calliographer found hyrogliphics of a white butt. In the book Chariots of the Butts, Eric von Dunnycam claimed the Great White Butt to be a space traveler.

Step Six: How to Defeat Stenchgantor, the Great Unwiped Butt
Stenchgantor is the most disgusting butt in the world. The only way you can defeat him is popping one of his pimples. He doesn't have an eye, but can sniff for its prey.

Step Seven: How to Defeat the Great White Butt and save the world
BLOW HIM UP IN A BUTTCANO!

Not as good as the first book, but this book was pretty funny and had more characters than the first. Even though it was pretty good, I think the first book, The Day My Butt Went Psycho is the best book, the funniest and the one to buy first. But after you read that, I recomend you to read this book. Next summer I hope to read the new serie book called, Butt Wars and see how it is.

p.s

This book is not for adults!!!!

My grandson lost interest in this book in a few minutes, said it was boring. I do not recommend.
