Dumb.

I do not normally finish books that I actively dislike, but this one was so short I kept waiting for it to turn around. It didn't. Flat, cartoonish adults have even less of a clue than the Wimpy Kid adults, the kids are caricatures, and Bertie...sigh.

Listen, there are probably kids out there who will find this funny. There are adults out there who liked it, as evidenced by the professional reviews which made me purchase it for the library. But damn, this was a hard eggplant for me to swallow.
