Who Done It? by Jon Scieszka
2.0
I wanted to like this book. And it's not awful, it's just very repetitive and very "insider-y".
It's best read in small chunks. Flip through and read the entries written by the authors you know and like or ones that catch your eye. There's not any plot that weaves through the stories. There are a lot of inside jokes (there's an essay poking at the idea of the YA Mafia which is only funny if you keep up with trends and stories in the ya lit world) I think fall flat unless you really know the authors involved.
If you want to buy it the money goes to good cause. If you just want to read a certain author's entry get it from the library.
