4.0 out of 5 starsGreat concept, too many executions....
By dSavannah VINE VOICE on January 20, 2013
Format: Hardcover Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )
...literally. The concept is that the hated editor of a number of authors has been murdered. Since each of the writers have a motive to off the man, hilariously named Herman Mildew, they must each give an alibi for their whereabouts.

The concept is brilliant, and I wish I'd thought of it. (Have I mentioned *I'm* an editor?) It's fun to read, with alibis ranging from "I couldn't have done it; I love Hermie even tho he doesn't like me to call him that and in fact has a restraining order against me" to "My alibi is a list of failed attempts at trying to murder him". The authors participating in the project write for children and young adults, so it was fun to read something (slightly) more adult.

I love that the proceeds benefit 826NYC, a literacy and creative program for kids. I hope lots of people buy this book so the organization gets tons of money.

However, there are just too many alibis. Although they are (mostly) original, after awhile they run together and it gets to be too much. I think this volume would have been better with at least 25 fewer. It also would have been nice to have had more illustrated alibis; there are only a few. Of course, I realize this was dependent on the authors who agreed to participate. I recommend getting a copy; just don't try to read it in one sitting!

4.0 out of 5 starsThis is better than ok, but I didn't like- like it.
By Julia Walter VINE VOICE on January 17, 2013
Format: Hardcover Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )
This is over eighty YA writers, most of them writing two pages on how they weren't the killer of the odious editor Herman Mildew.

"You look as busy as a teenager's thumbs," I said..."Guilty as a nun with Beauty Queens stashed in her wimple."(20) Written by Judy Blundell.

Todd Strasser writes: "Oh no. Don't tell me you're still reading this. What am I, the fifty- fifth author in a row who is supposed to spew out the same nonsense about the death of some pompous jerk named Herman Mildew?"(299) This was fun-nish, but ended up getting old. I would have preferred fewer writers and longer stories, but then the authors should have gotten paid, not written to benefit 826NYC, a worthy organization.

5.0 out of 5 starsFive Stars? It should be 80!!!!!!
By enubrius VINE VOICE on January 3, 2013
Format: Hardcover Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )
To begin with, even if this were the worst book ever written, it would be worth buying since the proceeds go to 826NYC a literacy program for kids.

BUT it is, most definitely NOT the "worst" book ever... it's one of the best of it's kind!

WHAT kind?

The multi-author "novel" (see: Naked Came the... fill it in)

"Multi", did I say? Try 80 of the best Children's authors ever!

And each and every one of them MAY be guilty of the murder of Herman Q Mildew, the most despicable book editor... EVER... EVER... EEEEEVVVVER

But, each of them has an alibi... which they wrote... and which makes up this book

Until the SHOCKING! SURPRISING! STUNNING! ending!

Buy it! Read it! DON'T give it to a friend! Make them buy it, too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4.0 out of 5 starsBook for English Teachers, Librarians and Children's/YA Lit Fans
By Loralee Petersen VINE VOICE on January 16, 2013
Format: Hardcover Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )
What a wonderfully wicked idea. Who Done It? is a fundraising project for 826NYC, described in the book as "a nonprofit organization and superhero supply company dedicated to supporting students ages six to eighteen with their creative and expository writing skills, and helping teachers inspire their students to write."

The premise is that Herman Q. Mildew - an editor that was an author's worst nightmare - has been murdered. He is described as "Mr. Burns meets Stalin, but worse (appearance and odor-wise) than a gluttonous farm pig. Each of the authors is summoned to give their alibi. The results are hilarious. The authors scramble to come up with alibis and explanations, sometimes even trying to shift blame to one another.

I will definitely recommend this book to my local high school English teachers. I can see a new writing class assignment in the future. Students must write an essay on why they couldn't possibly have killed Miss Mothballs, the English teacher.

4.0 out of 5 starsA Home Run for YA Aficionados
By Jennifer Donovan on February 27, 2013
Format: Hardcover Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who reads a lot of YA fiction, and especially those who are major fans of the authors. It is slightly long, with over 70 different authors' takes on why they did not kill editor Herman Mildew (even though most of them are suspect in some way, and almost all admit to wanting him dead). But I can't think of one entry that I would have deleted.

As I said, if you are a YA insider, then you'll love the in jokes (In her entry Emily Jenkins, a beloved children's author, pokes fun at someone who might use a pen name, when in fact she writes YA under the name of e. lockhardt), not to mention the personality-filled, 1st person, humorous accounts from whichever author you love.

Check out some of the powerhouses featured (children's and YA authors, but all writing in an adult/young-adult way):

Judy Blundell
John Green
Maureen Johnson
Mo Willems
Elise Broach
Lauren Myracle
Rebecca Stead

All in all -- a very fun read, either to sit down and read straight through, or to pick up here and there when you want a short reading fix.

The only disappointment is that you don't really get an answer at the end, though the twist is clever in itself, and it hardly had read as a serious fact-gathering mission to that point, so I wasn't surprised.

CONTENT NOTE: I was familiar with Jon Sciezcka's GUYS READ anthologies (fantastic!), so I automatically assumed that this was a collection for that same middle-grade 9 - 12 audience. It's not. It's definitely young adult, with a bit of mild profanity and some sexual references (about affairs and whatnot).
