The Library of Doom books are a great series. They are a short chapter book that is presented in full color. They are a light humorous stories that are perfect for struggling readers.

The Rex Jones series of books are supposed to be high interest with a lower reading level, but to be honest unless the graphics are modernized I don’t see many 15 year olds willingly picking up this title. That being said this is a fun series for younger kids. Rex has a special phone that can zap him and his friends on to incredible adventures. This time they are transported to a space craft and end up in a fight for their lives against alien invaders. One warning. If you read the book in print form, everything is fine, but if you check it out as an EBook there are formatting problems where words are obscured by the graphics.

Everyone makes mistakes, But it is not everyone who accidentally gives their boyfriend’s cousin an erotic wake up call. Rick was snoozing in Ryan’s bed when Lacey comes home in the dark and decides to get the action going. Lacey is mortified by her mistake, but her and Dan can’t keep from thinking about it. There is only one sure way to solve this problem, live out the fantasy. This short reads is delicious fun.

The “men’s only” is just a ploy to sell the book and make it stand out from other titles in this genre. It’s a book of trivia that could be considered gross or obscene. It contains facts about weird sexual acts, cannibalism and death. Some things were so interesting I had to look up more information. The only major problem with the book is the authors list of references. Most of the references seem to come from Wikipedia. As a librarian we constantly advise you to know your source, make sure it’s credible and back it up. While there is nothing wrong with Wikipedia I would prefer solid researched sources.

Over all I enjoyed this collection of comic strips about a mom who works from home. Some of my favorites include the stages of Women’s Sleep wear, and the story about the vacuum cleaner. I do think this will be appreciated more by women and stay at home dads, but I could be wrong.

If your kids are stealing your smart phone to play Cut the Rope then put this graphic novel in their hands. I may have only a preview, but I want to read the whole thing. The graphics were great and the start of the story was fun. More Please!
