The Worst Years of My Life by James Patterson, Chris Tebbetts
1.0
It appears that this book is trying to get the reader to understand that the kid who is a ratbag and breaking rules has issues.
The fact that the authors use these issues as a big twist reveal and that reveal shows that everyone would have known about them and what he needed was psychological assistance show the weakness and intention of the book.
The book has underlying serious issues and it could have been dealt with in an amazing way, but once again with Patterson Incorporated really poor execution triumphs over good ideas, although having said that it is wondered if the ideas actually come from previous materials that PI want to put their own spin on.
This book was clearly written for the younger reader, but in doing so it made being a ratbag in class to be almost admirable and treated the very real issue of bullies in a poor way.
Very disappointing, it could have been something special instead it was something terrible.
