Jack Gantos is a great writter and this is one of his best books yet! It's fun exciting and ou never know what will happen next. The next page your about to cry, then next your laughing histarically, and then the next your helka grossed out. It is such an aventurious book because he has such bad a.d.d. I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Joey Pigza Swallowed the Key was one of the best books I've ever read. It was hiliarious and I wanted to read it forever.I'm glad you wrote that book because most books bore me to death. This book inspired me to read more because you can experience life through a book. I also read the sequel Joey Pigza Loses Control (that was an excellent book too). I hope you write more Joey Pigza books because they're so awesome!!!

This book is a great book, Jack Gantos is able to mix humor and real life together very well, This is a laugh out loud book, almost as good as the first joey P book, but no where near the Jack Henry series.

I thought that this was a good book..............As to an earlier comment I think that this was one of his times......It is a touching story about a kid that has ADD.....I real Pickeruper and dont stop....
