Not my favorite but still all right - Reviewed on 2006-12-12

The book Dear God, Help!!! Love, Earl by Barbara Park, is about Earl Wilber, a chubby nerdy kid who gets bullied by a kid named Eddie McFee. Earl friends, Rosie and Maxie, help Earl to get revenge on McFee.
I think this book is all right but not great. I liked the book because the ending was clever and comical. However, most of the book was corny. For example, Earl and his friends Maxie and Rosie were calling each other `kaka'. I think this joke was idiotic. I would recommend this book to people who like corny humor. I think this book is good for upper elementary students to middle school students.
I recommend it, but not my favorite. - Reviewed on 2004-07-06

I really enjoy Barbara Park and her lovable characters. This is the first "Geek Chronicles" book I've read and, while I would recommend it, I didn't enjoy it as much as others of Park's works.

Earl and his friends are very lovable and, of course, laughs abound. I simply have huge expectations when it comes to Barbara Park. I felt the violence was realistic but a bit drawn out and, frankly, it disturbed me. I love that these characters solve their own problems in an ingenious way and work together as their plans go awry.

I will be reading more Geek Chronicles as I love Earl and his friends and I'm interested to see what else they do.
