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" :(

The idea of people's butts escaping from them and plotting world domination was bizarrely interesting, but their plan to switch all human's heads with their butts sounded like a grotesque sort of modern art. The jokes about the butts stinking when they talked and flinging brown missiles at their enemies got to be a bit much. And this is coming from a woman who normally likes poo jokes. That tells you something. Anyway, I decided I didn't want to read a whole book about it, but if you have a son who likes potty humor, send it his way. ( )

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 enjoy reading kid lit between my usual adult fare. Thought this might be fun. After reading it, tho, I don't see myself reading more along this line. Just not my cup of tea.

Will 12 year-old Zack be able to save the Earth from a take over by butts? Since his butt has run away to joing the conquering team, and has become the spokes butt, Zack feels responsible to stopping this revolution. He feels that if he can find the legendary Bum Hunter he can stop this craziness.

On his quest to find the Bum Hunter Zack winds up teaming with the Kisser and the Smacker and the Bum Hunter's daughter, Eleanor. Together they work to stop the butts from erupting a bumcano. Along the way they encounter a stink tornado, poopoises and a number of other creatures that belong to the species.

It is definite a kids' book for the ones that are into fart jokes and the like. There is a lot of action and the characters find that it can take team work to reach a goal. So there are some good points.

For me, I guess I grew out of gross - fart humour. I guess I'll stick with other topics. But if this gets a kid to read who wouldn't otherwise...that is a good thing! ( )

The Day My Butt Went Psycho by Andy Griffiths ---- How may times can you put the word BUTT into a story? This book will answer that parental question. For the 4th grader in your life: It has been on the approved reading list so they may get school credit for reading it, too! WIN FOR EVERYONE. ( )

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 butt-less bodies left behind for their rightful place in the world; on top of the neck. My 4th grader and I were disgusted. ( )
