- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The Good Stuff * A fabulous sequel to The Odds Get Even with enough back story included that you won't be lost without reading the first book. At the same time not too much repetition of the original story so those who have read The Odds Get Even, won't get bored * Nerdy kids and oddball aliens what's not to like * Fast paced storyline * Squeak talks like Spock * Addition of new character Sam might intrigue the girl reader to pick up the story. Sam is also not overly girly so she won't turn off the boy readers * Jake will love this book, can't wait for him to read it and hear what he has to say * Lots of gross out stuff for the middle school kid to enjoyThe Not so Good Stuff * drags a wee bit * Icky's character was almost a caricature at times, does develop, but was a little irritated with his lack of developmentFavorite Quotes/Passages"They'd brushed their teeth and kissed their parents good night and gone to sleep right away, like all good boys do .... As if.""Boney and his uncle peeked at each other in fear. At least when they knew what was coming they could prepare themselves for the shock.""Little green men. I hate those guys.""Actually, they're grey," Sam quietly corrected him."Who should/shouldn't read * Perfect for the oddball boy/girl who feel a little different * Nerdy adults will enjoy and get a kick out of the characters4 Dewey'sI received this from HarperCollins in exchange for an honest review
