I really wanted to like this book. Part of it remind me both of Dennis the Menace and Calvin and Hobbes but just parts. Billy Bang Bang is a precocious little girl who doesn’t believe in princesses. Precocious might be too precious of a word. She’s a brat. And not in a Junie, B Jones way where she’s got a good heart underneath the sass. There are times it feels like Billy is making trouble to make trouble. She plays her parents against each other, purposely causes problems, makes jokes that are inappropriate etc. This is supposed to be a children’s comic but I find the actions to the children inside of it annoying most of the time. There are parts where you find the humanity within Billy that makes you really want to love them as a character but then it’s surrounded by blackmail and getting her parents fight.  This type of thing sickens me and takes all enjoyment out of the read.
