Summary: Good but Not as Good as Other Books in the Series
Comment: This short novel is just like watching an episode on television, and with your imagination seeing all the characters you forget it is actually a book. It is a good read but is not up to the exceptionally high quality of the other author in this series' work, Pam Pollack. That is not to say you should not purchase this as it is still a very good book and you will still laugh and laugh and laugh. You will just laugh even more when reading Krelboyne Parrot or the Exchange Student.

Anyway this novel starts off with the family watching a live car chase on television which they quickly notice is driving down their street. Screeching to a halt out front of their house the fugitive couple run up to their front door. Dewey instead of locking the door of course opens it and asks them to play with him. The family is taken hostage. Lois and Hal tell the kids to run out the backdoor while the two fugitives are distracted but the boys start fighting with each other instead. Hal and Lois are outside and realise the boys are not. Lois keeps harassing the police outside to do something while Hal looks for doughnuts. Malcolm keeps coming up with plans of escape which Reese keeps blowing, as with no parents telling him what to do and cool fugitive role models to talk to he is in paradise. Dewey just wants to play.

This is an excellent book for readers of all ages. It is a short novel so kids or those who do not like reading long novels can read it too. This is an hilarious novel, I will definitely be buying the other books in this series that I have not yet read, as you can never have enough Malcolm in the Middle.

Rating: 5
Summary: Very Funny Book!
Comment: If you want to read a book that will make you laugh, get this one. It's just like watching an episode of the television series and is perfect for young readers. The tone and style are exactly like the show and we really have the opportunity to get into Malcolm's head. Great fun!

Rating: 3
Summary: Fast read, little content
Comment: This book reads quickly as if it were a sit-com. I know,I know, the book is based on a sit-com, nonetheless, you would expect it to have slightly more actual content than it does. The book would be good a good starting point for young boys who are reluctant readers or for anyone who just wants to quickly get through a book, not have to think while reading and be done with it.
