You know, re-reading this one made me realize just how much the earlier books are better quality (except for Amanda Delaney's hair turning from blonde to brown midway through the book). Although there are a few WTF? moments, overall it was decent.
As for those WTF moments....
- If I was Mr or Mrs. Papadakis, there is no way in hell I would hire either Kristy or Shannon again, I don't care who pulled the prank. To me, that prank phonecalling crap would have just shown me why 13 year olds may not be the best choice to watch my kids.
- I don't get why Shannon and Kristy just "suddenly" became friends over a completely assinine remark about a "pepperoni mountain dog". Please. If anything I would have ragged on Kristy more for saying something so retarded.
Man, I think contagious illnesses like the chicken pox are prime examples of why birth control is a good thing. Holy crap, 8 kids 11 and under, living in close quarters...I can only imagine what it's like when a stomach virus hits- the place must become a vomitoreum. WHereas I should feel sorry for the Pike parents, all I can think of was "well lady, you should have made sure your diaphragm was in properly".
My fav moment (or course Boo-Boo related):
"In the living room, Sam was helping David Michael with a tricky subtraction problem. Boo-Boo watched them from an armchair. Maybe because he's a cat, or maybe just because he's Boo-Boo, he always seems to watch people suspiciously, as if, right now, my brothers weren't doing math, they were plotting ways to torture Boo-Boo."
No sh*t man! You're talking about the cat that has thusfar survived 6 years of Karen, and likely more than one "dress-ups" in baby clothes. My cats also learned very quickly that when kids are around, they either have to hide or be "on guard"- you never know when the midgets will turn on you.
*amber*
