Barry, Boyhound by Andy Spearman is book I’ll never forget. The entire
story had me laughing, while waiting for my brother to finish his music
lesson, hysterically and uncontrollably in public. It is a book with a weak
storyline about a boy who turns into a dog while his body is still a boy. It
is done so well in this novel that, between the two talking fleas on his head
who talk about nonsense and are oblivious to everything that is happening to
the appendixes at the end of the book filled with nonsense like how to make
kinds of peanut butter sandwiches and play the pirate game, it is hilarious.
The book is modeled after a textbook but is so stupid that anyone would like
it. It may not sound appealing from this article but the way it is written is
so unbelievably fantastic that you will surely enjoy it, besides I haven’t
even started to tell you what happens in the story.
