Read or read not, there is no try

I finished one of the funniest books ever over the weekend:  The Strange Case of Origami Yoda.  Heelarious.  It's about a kid named Dwight who is a complete dork.  I'm not being mean; he really is a knob.  So, Dwight folds soome green paper into an Origami Yoda and makes it talk to people.  At first, he gives some unwanted advice, but it doesn't take long for people to start asking his advice.  These are people who absolutely REFUSE to speak to Dwight, but they'll talk to the green wad of paper.  Somehow, the finger holding Yoda is channeling The Force.  Yes, THE Force.

It's filled with some really funny characters.  I love Quavando: AKA Cheeto Hog.  And the kid (Mike, I think?) who cries everyday during PE Softball.  There's Caroline, the girl who reads lips.  And Kellen and Rhondella who are in looooooove.

I really like how the book is written.  The idea behind the book is to get everyone's input about Origami Yoda and his advice in order to decide if he's real.  Or rather, if his advice was good.  I enjoy reading all of the stories from different points of view because it adds some spice.

This was a really quick read, but so much fun.  I laughed out loud several times.  If you liked Diary of a Wimpy Kid, I think you'll like this one as well.  Give it a try.
