Unabridged Audiobook
It was good!
Simply the best. Sachar’s depiction of school life is hilarious. Personalities and situations are of course over exaggerated to make it funny and it works so well. I enjoyed this book as a kid, but I enjoy it even more as a adult. The humor is both extremely in your face and geniusly subtle. I’ve read this to my kids multiple times and we recently listened to the audiobook on a roadtrip. The narration (by Sachar himself) is great. At first it may seem slightly bland, but it really plays to the subtlety of the humor itself quite well. It’s a good rendition and great to hear it from the author. I highly recommend this book. It’s timeless. You will love it and so will your kids.
My son loved it! Listened with him lol
