Book Review


So this is about my favorite book as a child. I really did not like reading then nor do I now but if  i would have to choose captain underpants.  I "read" like the first five of those books.  The book had ridiculously large font, lots of pictures, and lets face it, we all just skipped straight to the flip o ramas with no regard for the story.  The cover of my favorite one had toilets on it. Like evil toilets with teeth.  This was probably my favorite book because it was entertaining and really involve like no reading.  I think the illustrator chose this kind of cover because it was dynamic and the title really comes out at you..  I remember doing this book for a book report.  It was awesome. I do not know what happened to these books. Last I remember was like the fifth one, but I guess there is like a total of eight.  These books had some small impact on most of all childhoods. They were always something to look for at the school book fair, or an easy way out of book reports in the fourth grade, these books will always live in my memory forever as the first "novel" I ever read. So ya.... 90 more words..... Captain Underpants and the attack of the talking toilets was pretty sweet.  The illustrator did a pretty awesome job on the cover. These covers are very recognizable.  That giant toilet is drawn pretty well also. I like the drawing style. Like its almost looks comic book. I have never read or seen a comic book so I really would not know. It looks like news paper cartoons. I think the author drew like this to appeal to kids. Including the toilets also appeals to kids. Kids find this stuff hysterical. Heck I find it a little humorous.  The illustrator did an awesome job on the cover and it is pretty awesome.

Introduction



   My name is Jake. I really despise blogging. I went to a private grade school and a private high school.  I grew up with great neighbors who still are my best friends to this day. Once we went off to college all three of us went our separate ways. I like to fish a lot. I like fishing for multiple species of fish.  I am a fan of fishing for large mouth bass. I am also a fan of fishing for walleye.  Sometimes I enjoy fishing for northern pike.  Pan fishing really is not my thing.  Fishing for small fish is sometimes enjoyable, but usually not to me.  My favorite lure to use is called a hula popper.  A hula popper is a floating lure that sits on top of the water.  You flick your pole and this make the lure pop in a sense on the surface of the water. The fish, typically large mouth bass, shoot out of the water in a terrific, and sometimes startling, acrobatic snatch of the lure.  One time I caught an enormous large mouth bass hula popping. It was two feet long and weighed about seven pounds.  In the state of Minnesota that is a relatively large, large mouth bass.  We took it to a taxidermist and got him mounted. He now hangs over the mantle of my fireplace. I am not a reader, or a writer. I do not like to do either of them. I am relatively strong in mathematics and would rather watch a movie of a book, then actually read the book.  Reading has never been my thing. I was always good at memorizing facts so I would skim text books and just memorize the facts I needed to know.  Blogging in my opinion is a total waste of time.  I do not care if people know who I am or what I do.  I think people should be more concerned about their lives rather than reading about other peoples.
