Marvin Redpost: Kidnapped at Birth?

Sometimes rainy days drive you insane. You can't decide which of the over read books on the shelf to read. I chose Marvin Redpost: Kidnapped at Birth? by Lois Sachar. I very much regret this decision. The title pretty much sums up the book. You may know Sachar as the author of the beloved novel Holes. Holes is a much deeper and infinitely more humorous story than Marvin Redpost. Marvin Redpost is meant to appeal to a younger audience than Holes, however, the language is horrid and the plot is immature. In my opinion Louis just wanted to finish this story therefore within the last few pages there lies a nasty surprise.
