A pity review:
A couple weeks ago I was taking out the trash. Somehow, this book had made its way into the trash can.
What did this book do to deserve such treatment? How would Justine Korman feel if she knew?
Sure, it's sat idly on the bookshelf these past... I don't know... 20 years. I don't recall ever cracking it open. I don't recall Buster's tales of woe and heroics. I don't recall buying the book - though this may have to do more with the fact that my brother's name is on the inside cover...
At any rate, I felt bad for the book. I pulled it out of the trash. I became this book's savior. And not only did I salvage this 3 star (ok 2 and a half... ok, even that may be the pity speaking) book, but I breathed new life into it and read it to my kids.
I just asked my daughter if she remembers me reading it to her, and she says she does. And did she like it? "I did. It was great." She even remembered the ending - here's a spoiler for this book and every classic like it: Buster wakes up. It was a dream. Sorry to ruin it for you all. (It's shocking you've read this far in this review.)
Even though I spoiled the ending, maybe all of you out there can add this book to your to-read list, then it won't feel like a worthless piece of trash. Or maybe this is my first step to appearing in some Hoarders TV show in 2025. Who knows.
Billy, if you want your book back - you can have it. You almost lost it. You're welcome.
