cragwarden 's review for:

Confessions of a Blabbermouth by Louise Carey, Mike Carey
2.0

*spoiler alert*

Within the text of this book, the reader discovers that a column being written for a newspaper by a girl in her mid-teens was actually being dictated to her by her father and the column ends up getting axed because coming from a guy in his mid-40's, the content was no good.

I find this ironic because this story was penned by a father/daughter team and without knowing who wrote what, it leaves me somewhat perplexed. Coming from a guy who I'm guessing is in his mid-40's, this book wouldn't be all that impressive, but provided the 15 year old daughter did the majority of the writing, I might throw up another star.

The reason I wanted to read this book in the first place was because Aaron Alexovich was working his magic as an artist to bring this story to life and the majority of the two stars I'm giving it go to that. Aaron once again proves that he is a master at what he does and in the event the writing is mostly the work of a 15 year old, I respect and admire him for being a part of this.

Overall, I thought the book was alright. I don't have much interest in going back and reading it again, but I definitely can't say I wasted any time doing so.
