Book Review: The Adventures of Captain Underpants
Summary: 5 Stars
Greetings, my name codename is Pilkey-Fan 4000. I'm here to tell you about my favorite superhero, Captain Underpants! In his first book, we meet the two kids named George and Harold, George is the kid on the cover with the tie and flat-top, Harold is the one with the bad haircut and T-shirt, remember that now. They go to a school called Jerome Hortwiz Elementry School where they make bad grades in school, annoy their teachers, pull pranks, and make comic books and run them on the copy machine so they can sell them on the playgrond for 5 cents a piece. They get ussualy on everyones's nerves, especially Mr. Krupp, the principal of the school. One day George and Harold were pulling pranks at a football game, they put pepper in the cheerleaders pom-poms, put soap in the band insturments, and caused the football team to itch using itch cream instead of deoderant. Mr. Krupp, wanting to catch the two in the act, made a video taping their every move, afterwards black-mailing the boys to do whatever he wised-or the football team would kill them for the game failure embarassment. After a while, George and Harold bought a 3D Hypno-Ring. They used this to hypnotise Mr. Krupp one day and turned him into Capt. Underpants, their latest comic character. But unfortunatly Mr Krupp really thought he was Capt. Underpants and went out into the street to fight crime by removing his outer clothing and toupee, and tieing a red curtain to himself. George and Harold followed him into the town where they almost got arrested by the police. Then a car zooms out o f a store driven by two robots carrying a diamond. The end of the cape catches onto the van and Captain Underpants and the van drive into a warehouse. George and Harold follow the van into the warehouse whre they meet Dr.Diaper, a small crazy little man with a diaper on. He plans to take over the world with the Laser-Matic 2000, a machine that will blowup the moon and destroy every major city in the world! Will Geroge and Harold suceed? (...) Thank you very much. This book and all the others deserve 10 stars, but five was the limit.
