Summary: Unbelievably fabulous!
Comment: Looking for a book that'll make you laugh harder than you have in YEARS? This is the one. Gerber's parody is witty, outrageous, twisted, bizarre...and absolutely fabulous! Whether you're completely enamored by Rowling's Potter books, or if you hated them and lose your lunch whenever the series is mentioned, "Barry Trotter" will blow your mind and is guaranteed to bring on uncontrollable laughing fits. It's extremely important to note, though, that this book is NOT for children. There's adult content (some of which would honestly go right over kids' heads...some of which wouldn't) and many "mature" references. This is for teen and adult audiences-the audiences that are able to pick up and appreciate the nuances of phenomenal parodic writing and the over-the-top hilarity of modern adult-culture references. Everyone from CEOs to high-schoolers will love this (and those aren't arbitrary determiners--both the CEO of my company and my 17-year-old niece read and loved it), so BUY THIS BOOK!

Summary: Barry Trotter and the Unauthorized Parody.
Comment: In my own opinion, Barry Trotter is way better(and funnier) than Harry Potter. Why? I'm almost 13 and am begining to see the real series as just a fad for the younger readers. It started out very nice untill they made it into a movie.( Along with school supplies,backpacks,toys,games,etc.)Then I began and have grown out of it. But then I picked up Barry Trotter and the Unauthorized Parody and found a new favorite book.This book has got to be the best parody ever! The jokes are very humorus and more my age! The story is about 22 yr-old Barry Trotter who must save his beloved school of Hogwash,or must get a job. You see, already over-run by the Barry Trotter books fans, Wanger Bros. plans to make a movie form the books! Then Hogwash will shut down because then everybody will know how to get there! So Barry,Lon,and Erminie come out of retirement to try to stop Lord Valumart and the people at Hollywood to stop the movie before it's too late! Micheal Gerber really does make fun of Potter in this book.The book inspired me to become a Trotter fan and read other parodies like Bored of the Rings. If I were you, grab a copy of this book today!If you are a Harry Potter fan and are looking forward to Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheniox this summer, Trotter fans like me will be looking to Barry Trotter and the Unnessary Sequal coming this fall!

Summary: Save your money !
Comment: The funniest part of this book are the "mutilated" names (i.e. Laord Valuemart, The Dork Forces, etc), and that probably says it all.
While it is somewhat amusing to imagine a "grown up" Harry Potter who feeds off his notoriety, that's not enough to make a good parody.
My advice : save your money for the next Harry Potter book !
