Commentary Regarding Books Drums, Girls & Dangerous Pie (Drums, Girls & Dangerous Pie #1)

4.5-5 starsI've had this audiobook since April 30, 2017 and I just now picked it up. I can practically hear some friends booing or shaking their heads at me as I write this sentence. I couldn't tell you why I bought it then didn't read it. I'm assuming it was on sale as I don't usually buy books unless they're affordable then got distracted with university and the mandatory reading that was required. Seriously, why did it take me so long to finally pick this up and read this book!? It's been

The best narration in an audio book, I have ever listened to.Narration, according to me, makes or breaks a book.Voice modulation, and making the characters feel different are key.And that is exactly what Joel has done with the narration of Drums, Girls and Dangerous Pie.The book directly jumps into the only thing confusing about the title of the book, dangerous pie.We get an insight into a 13 year old boy: Steven and his younger brother Jeffrey's life. This book will make you laugh, cry, and I

It is very addictive to the point that you may not be able to put it down from start to finish.I love the book and would definitely look for other Sonnenblick books. It is a tearjerker and a funny novel. That is how I would describe it in few words. One minute you're laughing so hard and then with just one phrase or sentence, ,a tear

A thirteen year old is, by nature and brain chemistry, somewhat self-absorbed. Crushes, schoolwork, embarrassing parents, annoying siblings are all consuming.This is the story of one selfish thirteen year old kid who is forced to look outside himself by one of the worst circumstances possible, when his little brother is diagnosed with leukemia.It's a tear jerker, and it has its funny moments.
