Timmy Failure (book one?)
by Stephan Pastis
Hennepin County Library hardcover 294 pages
genre: YA humor
I generally enjoy Pastis' sense of humor (in Pearls Before Swine, his comic) but this book seemed to drag on. There's an endorsement from Jeff Kinney, but I'm not sure the fans of the Wimpy Kid books would enjoy this book much more than I did.
Timmy Failure has a detective agency and a pet polar bear who is his business partner. He's really bad at noticing things, making logical connections, and following up on information. Besides being a terrible detective, he's fairly rude and self-centered (fits with Greg Heffley there!). It was mildly amusing, but I don't think I'll buy a copy for my collection.
