Be what you would seem to be -- or, if you'd like it put more simply -- Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise.” In the course of any of this have I actually mentioned that the book is guffaw-worthy? Laugh-out-loud funny? Look, any book where the main character reasons that since the name “Chang” is the most common in the world he should automatically fill it in on all his test papers because the odds would be with him has my interest. Add in the fact that you’ve titles of chapters with names like, “You may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile” (well played, Pastis) and visual moments where Timmy is holding a box of rice krispie treats above his head ala Say Anything. Clearly this is adult humor, but when he hits it on the kid level (which is all the time) the readers will be rolling. Rating Decision Crisis: 2 stars, or 3? Started slow, Timmy too much like Wimpy Kid/AwfulHumanBeing Greg Heffley, but improved, slowly....

Failure's got it. They say boys tend to be more plot-centric. That they don't care for character development and feelings and all that. There better be some good ol' violence or at the very least some bathroom humor. And yeah, I love the books that pull those elements off as much as the next 10-year-old, but when character is given the treatment Pastis and Kinney work, we love that too.It's harder to drive a polar bear into somebody's living room than you'd think. You need a living room window that's big enough to fit a car. You need a car that's big enough to fit a polar bear. And you need a bolar bear that's big enough to not point out your errors."

There was a lot of body shaming going on in this story, and in a way that made it seem like it was okay to do, even funny cool.

Timmy Failure: Mistakes Were Made - Movie Review". www.commonsensemedia.org. February 7, 2020 . Retrieved November 21, 2020. It’s Timmy’s situation that highlights the brilliance of Patsis’ writing. Betsy Bird brought up the question about whether Total, Timmy’s associate who happens to be a 1,500 pound polar bear, is a real part of the story or as her husband thinks, a manifestation of Timmy’s break from reality. I was sure I agreed with Matt. Most of the time. Because there are more places where you could evidence the latter. But then, there are those moments where Total absolutely has to be real. Timmy is like that awful boy from the Wimpy Kid books, but he's the MC and the hero; yeah, run that concept through your brain again. Being a jerk, calling people names, body shaming others, being mean, destroying other's property... yay, let's hear it for all the "misunderstood" kids in the world, let them be themselves and celebrate it. What kind of a message is that to be sending elementary school children? But i was reduced to jelly when our hero was filling out a standardized test form so that the dots made the shape of his name (last year he made mountains). The difference was that this year they were being graded in a group: Then there was all the adult puns and wording, "Those inclined toward generous interpretation might say it's a goddess rising from the sea. Or Adam touching the hand of God," which also showcases the horrible punctuation in this book. For a while I was thinking this was intended as an adult parody of an MG early reader chapter book (like Diary of a Wimpy Kid) because there was so much adult humor, but no, it's an early reader chapter book according to the publisher.

Barnes, Brooks (November 7, 2019). "Remember Family Films? Disney Plus Is Making 'Em Like They Used To". The New York Times . Retrieved November 21, 2019. I know what you're thinking. How will the rest of a book from a first time children's author ever pull off a story with an opening like that? If Old Man Crocus was going to pair me with You-Know-Who, I had no choice but to throw myself upon the gears of the machinery and make the whole wretched process come to a halt.” When Timmy ends up with a new teacher and he’s asked to work on “cases” he actually pulls off decent grades. Which, of course, on affirms the shortcomings of the educational system since Timmy has to be the one to solve the cases. Andreeva, Nellie (May 18, 2023).
