Bloody brilliant. I read this while my co-worker was doing a reading group with some third graders and I was trying so hard not to laugh out loud that I was snorting. J.Lo has earned himself a place in my "Favorite Characters" hall of fame.

I agree with phenomenal I hate the true meaning of smekday it sucked and was terribly written and the plot sucked

Brilliant... the only book with a Smek named JLo. Fantastic. Five stars.

I laughed so hard in almost every chapter but there is some dark and mysteriousness about it theat makes it a must-read.

Very few books make me laugh out loud. This is one of them! It's a hilarious adventure that works on different levels for different ages. Highly recommended!

Awesome book! It's 500+ pages of hilarious randomness with great pictures to illustrate. The only thing bad about this book is that you sound really weird talking about it to other people who haven't read it (aliens, a girl called Gratuity, Gorgs...) Pure awesomeness.

A humorous book with a strong moral message that will help kids to think about our own history. An engrossing read.

We found the bathrooms, which were labeled 'Aliens' and 'Femaliens.' 'Finally,' I said to J.Lo. 'Here's a bathroom you're allowed to use.

You have no room to laugh, that's all. I'm not doing any worse with Boovish than you did with English.' Get off of the car,' J.Lo huffed. 'I am an English superstar.' Uh-uh. There's no comparison. 'Gratuity' in written Boovish has seventeen different bubbles that all have to be the right size and in the right place. 'J.Lo' in written English only has three letters, and you still spelled it 'M-smiley face-pound sign.

Is there a short-eared koobish, then?' Mmmyes ...' said J.Lo. 'But it is technically not really a koobish. Is more alike a kind of singing pumpkin.' We had conversations like these all the time, where I just eventually gave up.
