Some of it was funny but then the rest of it was kind of repeated over and over but I do like the other Barry loser books though

This book was too silly for me and I didn't like the words spelt the way Barry spoke so most were spelt wrong.

This book was about a boy named Barry loser and his holiday to a caravan park. It started of with him finding out his friend Bunky liking his friend Nancy. Then he invited his 2 friends to the caravan park but it was boring with his friends sort of ignoring him so he went to go find something else to do when he met a boy who made him and sharronela, who came because she knew he was coming and sort of liked him, throw toilet paper that had been dipped in discusting water at a caravan that turned out to be Gino's caravan and when Barry through his it splatter into Gino's face and made him very sad. The next day barry and his family and friends saw a bunch of puppies and his mom said he could get one later but when she found out what he did she said no. He had gone to the beach to sulk when his friends came and he was happy again when Nancy said her and bunky would never be boyfriend and girl friend but it made bunky upset however when they sorted things out with him and confirmed they would always be friends they went back to the caravan and barry thought it was the best holiday ever again. Then his mum said he still couldn't get a puppy but he was going to get a baby and it turned into the worst holiday ever again. I would recomend this book.

The type of book was a comedy book and my favourite character is Barry loser since he met this person called Trevor but he said his friends called Trev so from then on Barry called him Trev or Trevor . I would recommend it to someone who has a liking in comedy books . My favourite part of the book was when they was at Gino’s pizza place and was eating pizza cat ears.
