Not a book for kids, unless you want them reading about used condoms and how every Hogwash teacher has some sort of sexual perversion (like blow-up dolls). I did find much of the story ammusing but really wished that the sexual dirt and crap could have been left out. Why can't they just write a good funny book? I guess I must be one of those uptight moms described on the back of the cover.
There were several times that I laughed out loud, many were even before the story began, so make sure you read every single word on every single page. Sadly the story went kinda off and the ending was a real let down. I was expecting it to end with a real huge laugh, but it was just one of those "Oh how nice, he did the right thing and turned out to be a good guy" endings.
