Cold Cereal Audiobook

" I was excited to find Adam Rex's newest book, Cold Cereal, at the library. I liked it, but not as much as Smekday. Rex is still weirdly brilliant and serves up lots of adventure in this story about kids trying to fight against an cereal company bent on world domination. But overall it just wasn't as humorous to me as Smekday. Bizarre, yes, but not really funny, though of course there were some funny moments. Actually, my favorite part was the inside front cover which introduces the book in a format which mimics the nutrition information from the side of a cereal box. That made me laugh! Smekday was a stand-alone book, but Cold Cereal clearly leaves room for intended sequels. "

" I probably didn't love this quite as much as I loved Smekday, but boy was it ever fun! And it looks like there'll be a sequel? Here's hoping we'll see more of the unicat next time :) "

" Why do they have creatures like leprechauns and giant rabbits selling breakfast cereal to kids? Scott (Scottish Play Doe) and his new friends Erno and Emily are about to find out. Scott's been having hallucinations most of his life, but learned to act as if he doesn't. Erno's a genius, who has also managed to get along. Emily is a supergenius, who hasn't. The GoodCo Cereal Company has a lot to do with all of this. Plot twists, mysteries and strange juxtapositions of pop culture icons abound, but the story doesn't end here...aargh! I checked his website and it's part of a trilogy. I can't decide if I'm relieved or irritated because I want to read more. Now. Rex's artwork is great fun, even the ingredients list on the inside of the dust jacket will make you laugh. Gr. 4-8. "

" Totally crazy and awesome. Can't wait for book two!!! "

" Good book...I'd share it with, uh, 3rd-8th graders? I know, huge ranged. Whatev. Funny, smart, and the beginning of a series...or duo...or triligoy...or something. :-) "

" It was no Smekday, but it was still quite funny. I look forward to the sequel. "

" Corporate conspiracy with fantastical elements thrown in. A general thumbs down -- plot is too drawn out, disconnected and basically uninteresting. "

" Absoloutely amazing! Just as good as I hoped it was very funny and edgy and mysterious! I was so enticed I couldn't put the darn hong down. Mick was funny! He was awesome and the whole evil cereal thing! Gineus! Adam Rex is amazing! One of my fav authors hands down. "

" Cute story about 3 kids who are fighting the evil super-power known as Goodco, a corporation that makes cereal out of additives only. Magical elements thrown in for fun. "

" Awesome, but you can't top smekday. Ever. "

" A lot of fantasy. If you like fantasy you will love cold cereal. Great book "

" It took me a bit to get into this one, but all in all I ended up really enjoying it. Bring on book 2! "

" I love Adam Rex so much--not for his plots, which I can take or leave, but for his characters and the brilliant little asides he tosses in over and over again. "

" This is a great book, especially if you like fantasy like me. "

" This title is exemplary in its genre, but I don't like the genre. Goofy fantasy mystery for younger teens. I could tell that some kids will love it. "

" Clever moments and some interesting ideas, but I never got attached to the characters. I'm still curious about Rex's other books, but this tried too hard and fell just a bit short. "
