rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author epitope - Spinelli's informal, exaggerative, storyteller style pulls young children immediately into Maniac's story. It's almost as though the audience is a newcomer who listens to town gossip by a town crier. What does the town crier relate? Well, Maniac is a...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jhuxc - Without a doubt, this is one of the most pointless books I've ever read. Actually, I knew this book would be bad just by looking at it (yes, I have the rare ability to accurately judge a book by its cover) but it was assigned to me for school. Because...
