Who thinks up this stuff? I have this picture in my mind of a bunch of adolescent-type men sitting around a campfire rifling off butt puns left and right and rolling over with gut wrenching (or maybe I should say butt wrenching) gas cramps. Voila! The Day My Butt Went Psycho! is born.

I was looking forward to reading this book since this is actually my favorite Andy Griffiths' book. Aside from the weird fact that this book revolves around a butt-centric world, I enjoyed it. If you read my reviews of the other books by Andy Griffiths, you can see that I'm not really a fan of toilet or crude humor, but for some reason, it didn't really bother me in this book (which is very weird since this might as well be the weirdest book that Andy Griffiths has written). I think it's because...more
I would definitely recommend this book because it is weird, hilarious and action packed all at the same time and is filled to the brim with psychopathic bottoms.
My favourite part of the book was when the main character, Zack was trapped in the bumcano dangling on a harpoon hook, wedged into the great, white bum's right cheek. He then blew the bumcano up to get himself out. This is my favourite part because it shows how people can use their initiative when they need to.

Intrigued by the title, I picked this up at a used book sale. After reading a couple of chapters on the bus this morning, I couldn't really handle any more. Some of the puns were pretty funny, but it got to a point where, truly, only a prepubescent boy could like it. I guess I'm just one of "those adults" :(

This is a book about a boy name Zack. His butt mysteriously disappears one day. He looks for his butt and finds that this is happening to not just him, the butts were gathering together to form an evil plot. Luckily Zack meets up with some experienced butt fighters and together they try to stop the butts' evil plans. It is not an easy journey because the Kisser (the guy who kisses butts) is secretly working for the butts. While reading this book you will have no idea what to expect. The plot is ...more
This book is more than you might expect.
Of course, it IS entirely about butts. I doubt there are more than two sentences in a row where the word butt is not used.
I picked up this book as a joke, it made me giggle like a little boy when I read the title. After reading a bit of it, I am very surprised.

Zack Basically needs to save the world from all the butts as the Butts try to take their rightful place on the top. The story all began one night when Zacks butt literally left his body. When he tries to follow it, he realizes that all the butts in the world has assembled into one place to discuss world domination. This book was hilarious because the Butts started talking about how they were tired of always being on the bottom and that they were always sore. The funy part was that the main chara...more
If I was a 10 year old boy I would have given this 5 stars. It is a bit different from the books I usually read. And it was a nice diversion for a person who is trapped at home because everyone in the world has the flu and I have a little teeny baby that I want to protect.
And seriously, who would not totally love a book that has classic dialogue like this:
"You might be unreliable, rude, smelly, non-self-wiping, and completely psycho, but you're my butt and I love y...more

So far I tell that this book is going to be a good.I believe that this is a good book for any child who likes to joke a lot or is a a plan funny guy. But I don't think this book is for grown ups because there always saying that's inappropriate and that we shouldn't be reading that. But this a book that kids would love to read this I'm loving it already. I'm just wow in the book they got butt guns and even a butt-mobile. I'm amazed at this book. I really love this book and now Zack doesn't have t...more
We did not get past chapter 1 of this dreadful book. While my son has a healthy interest in bathroom humor and giggles at any mention of nuts, balls, flatulence, & butts, this was way too juvenile for him (if you can believe it). I can't imagine anyone liking this above 2nd grade, but the reading level seems too high for 2nd graders. Literally, butts jump off of their human bodies and run around with little arms & legs, speaking English words of revolt in flatulence, and have a war with the bu...more
The author strives to be Roald Dahl, but falls far short of his mark. The two child characters are similar to Matilda and Charlie, but the author lacks Dahl's ability to capture a childs imagination and simply produces a gross product. poopusses do not compare with oompaloompas. I find the three supportive heroes disturbing they control the anthropamorphized butts with kicks, smacks and kisses. True one of these three heroes turned out to be a villain, but not before chapters and chapter...more
A funny read, i will always be reminded of my primary school teacher reading this books to us, espcially before lunch because she found it funny when it came to lunch time and we had all lost our appetitites :P
I even got my book signed by Mr Griffths himself, when he came to my school. Hes a very cool guy :P

This book was one of the most funny, beautiful, and touching books I have read. Zach’s butt detaches itself and runs away and forms the biggest butt army in history. Zach teams up with international butt fighters to overthrow Zach’s butt’s army. This book is filled with big laughs mixed with action and adventure. It is a great book for all people who like to laugh. It was such a great book that I read the sequel! The sequel was also amazing, but I am writing about this book, not Zombie Butts fro...more
Yes, I have read this book twice now. I loved it the first time, and thought Griffiths was brilliant in his hilarious yet disgusting antics that will be sure to get those young boys reading. This second time? I still liked it but felt a little less enthusiastic. Don't get me wrong, I still think it is brilliant, hilarious and disgusting, but I probably didn't need to read it again. I am ready to pass this on to my now 8 year old nephew who will love it, I'm just not sure if my sister is ready...more
This book belonged to my younger cousin, and he recommended it to me as I struggled to find another book to read. And so, with nothing else to read, I picked up this book. The entire book is a joke, and I can see why my cousin likes it. It is an adventure book centered around butts--a world of butts. And a young boy named Andy takes us through his adventures after the day his butt decided to run away. Immature is this book? Yes. But I enjoyed it and I am glad my cousin read some more books becau...more
I cant tell you how I fell about the WHOLE book but I will tell you what I think about it right now.
I think it has a really good story to it so far, well kinda,
if you like a funny book you will think it has a good story to it and it's the opposite for if you don't like funny books. It's about a kid and while he's sleeping his butt jumps off of him and runs away. The kid follows him and it turns out his butt is the chef of all the butts.

Fourth grade humor at its best. Good choice for reluctant readers--(though potentially problematic in a school library if you live in a conservative area that doesn't like you to say the word "butt" in elementary school--same issues as Captain Underpants). This book's appeal to the reluctant reader should outweigh the controversy. Great literature? No. Fun? You bet your sweet patootie.
Sadly, I have to admit I've read this. In my defense, it was to see if it could be added to a 4th grade classroom library. Short and long of it: NO, it can't. Griffiths' Campfire Weenies series is a different case: interesting, if a bit Twilight Zone-ish. I have no problems with them, but this series lacks the heart that underlies early books in The Captain Underpants series.
Although I listened to a lot of this series on audio book, I still think it was the funniest series EVER! I read the second book first, and me and my brother were up all night laughing our heads off! I would definitely recommend it to anybody and everybody, it was so witty with all the crapalanches, bumagenddon, and many more. I loved the glossary at the end of each book! LOL! ^_^
Gross! The author warns you that this is not suitable for adults because it's disgusting. Of course, I was like, "I'm a librarian, I can handle it." Uh, no. This is just a gross overload. Everything is butt this and poop that. When I was halfway through and hadn't laughed once, I decided to just accept that I'm too old for 300 pages of potty humor. I wish you luck if you are over 13 and decide to take this on. It's nasty.
I had to force myself to read this to see if I wanted it in the library, and I don't. It was so gross, not funny gross, but disgusting gross. Like when the boy climbs a giant butt and pops the zit on the butt and uses the pus to propel himself in the air. Way too heavy on the gross factor. My 10 year old niece thought it was funny but I think it is wrong. Dead wrong.
I didn't have high expectations for this book. I wasn't disappointed. I like stupid humour, like South Park and things like that, but this was really just... DUMB. Not clever, not funny, just dumb. I'm just as immature as anyone else, but this wasn't even immature. It really was just DUMB. Any child that reads this and thinks it's hysterical probably will end up being that kid sitting alone at the lunch table in a few years.
This is Captain Underpants-kind of humor; several students wanted to read this a few years ago and I read it to make sure it was "appropriate"--dumb book--exactly as stupid as it sounds! Kids think the idea of a "butt" with legs is funny, though...it's just not a book I'd want in my personal library or classroom.
To be honest I only read the first chapter. It WAS humorous butt...This was recommended for boys who are reluctant readers. I could see my son Jon, when he was in junior high absolutely LOVING this book. Don't think I'll recommend it to my 4th grade male students. Their parents would never forgive me!
I'm sorry but this book was HILARIOUS!!! The title is not a metaphor! Zach's butt really does go power hungry and psycho! It keeps detaching and having midnight trouble-making adventures but this time it's gone too far! It wants to have all butts trade places with heads so they can rule the world. They use everything in their power (I don't have to say how they knock people out, do I?) to achieve this world domination and it's gross! Little boys and gross girls everywhere are going to love this ...more

This was not the best book that i've ever read. it was actually kind of stupid. I wouldn't recommend this. i mean it was in my 6th grade classs room and it seemed like a funny book i mean lol have you READ the title?!?!?! But it was actually extremely stupid. Like this seems like a book that my 4 yr old brother and twin 6 yr cousins would like not a 12 going on 13 7th grader like me.
this book is about a boy named zack and his butt ran away and zack goes and tries to find his butt and a whole lot of butts went to the stadium to talk about something and zack sees his but givin a speech about how humans treat them bad and now zack wants to capture them
this book is hularious. it is a weird story though.i remmemmber the day my brothers butt went crazy.i was like aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.and my bro was likeooooooooooooooow.jk buut it is a good book really.you should read.warning if you dont laugh your crazy.
I should've heeded the warning. Right on the first page it says for parents, teachers, or anyone who doesn't love bodily references to put the book down! Not for me, but my 9 year old boy thinks it's awesome. He's reading the rest in the series right now.
