Summary: On BT 2
Comment: Barry Trotter 2 by Michael Gerber is a facinating
and yet oh so dumb parody of Harry Potter. Unlike
the first book, Barry is 38, has kids, and is
balding. The main characters are basicly twisted
versions of Harry and co. For instance, Barry is
mean spirited, hot tempered, and other things I
shouldn't say. Ermine,(to some Hermione) Barry's
wife, is kind yet destructive, has a tendency to
show the faults in Barry and other things an average
wife would do. Their kids Nigel, a non-magical 11-year
old going to hogwash, and Fiona, a magical geinus, are
somehow unscaethed. There is also Lon, a quasi-canine
man-child that has a dog brain. You might be thinking
"What about Voldemort!?", well, this time, Valumart is
now a family friend. On to the actual story. The
book coins itself as an intriguing parody with
sphincter-tightening eroictisim. This is false,
the true plot is of Barry and co. going to Hogwash for
a class reunion. But as tragedy (not really) would have it
theheadmister, Dorco Malfesance dies. So, Barry and Ermine
become the new headmister. Then Barry somehow contracts
youthniasia and will die soon. I don't want to give away the story, so, I won't. The book has a lot of jokes and satire
that will entertain the ages of 13-27. Although the book
is good, the ending of the series so prematurely is
bad. Lets just hope Michael Gerber writes more books.
Rating: 5
Summary: Even Funnier than the first!!
Comment: I enjoyed all pointed comments about things like how Snape is always the favorite scapegoat for the trio as well as all the hilarious attempts to help Barry grow older. Definitly a must-read for all fans of the first.

Summary: A Worthy Sequel, if not Entirely up to Snuff
Comment: Having read Barry Trotter and the Unauthorized Parody and enjoyed it very much, I decided to have a go with the sequel when I chanced upon it in the bookstore, and it was well worth the price I paid for it. Just reading the synopsis on the inner jacket made me laugh out loud. I also really liked the way that they wrote out the (still) Obligatory Legal Mumbo Jumbo, and the disclaimers at the beginning of the book. Still incredibly funny. If you liked the original, you'll probably like the sequel, although bear in mind that it is not using the plot of any Potter novel per se, but it does use elements from the books that are outrageously funny. Pick it up now, you'll love it.
