THE BEST BOOK EVER!
This book was so amazing. David is a normal kid trying to fit in with the popular kids, and when he helps an operation to take Mrs. Bayfield's cane, he flips her off and gets cursed... Or does he? After that David loses his old friends but gains a bunch of new ones that remind everyone of the three stooges. To top that, things like his pants falling down while asking...

Entertaining but not Sachar's best, 27. Mai 2000
Von Ein Kunde
This is reasonably entertaining and thought provoking book but not Sachar's best work. I much more highly recommend "Holes" and "A Boy in the Girl's Bathroom". Although there are a couple of inventive plot twists here, and the book does provoke thought regarding our value systems and human interaction, the middle portion of the book during which the "curse" was inflicted upon the main character seemed to drag a bit. In addition this book was not nearly as humorous as the two previously mentioned novels. As far as the obscenities are concerned, if the liberal use of four letter words and protracted discussions surrounding the significance of "flipping someone off" are not inappropriate then there is no concern. Personally, I felt obligated to "censor" certain sections as I read the book aloud to my nine year old daughter. I would recommend the book for 12 year olds and up.

THE BEST BOOK EVER!, 21. April 2000
This book was so amazing. David is a normal kid trying to fit in with the popular kids, and when he helps an operation to take Mrs. Bayfield's cane, he flips her off and gets cursed... Or does he? After that David loses his old friends but gains a bunch of new ones that remind everyone of the three stooges. To top that, things like his pants falling down while asking someone out, or his zipper being down when he walks into class happen to him. I couldn't put this book down. My mom usually reads the same books I read if I say they are good, and she loved it too. I had read Holes not that long ago, and thought it was great, but this book is one million times better. I really suggest that people read this.

I put the curse of greatness over it, 30. Januar 2000
Reading the back of the book won't do. In fact, at first I didn't want to read the book. But because all Louis Sachar's books are good, I read it and it's GREAT!When Scott becomes friends with Roger and Randy and the three plan to steal Mrs.Bayfield's cane, Scott invites his friend David to come along. And when they get there, Scott grabs the cane, Roger and Randy pull pranks, and David shows his middle finger. A lot of good for David! She puts a curse on him. He comes into Spanish with his zipper down, breaks a tube in Science, becomes friends with Larry and Mo and the three become the Stooges: Larry, Mo, and Curly. To find out what else happens to David and his curse, read THE BOY WHO LOST HIS FACE. (It's at your local bookstore.)

Graphic language - Not for elementary students!, 18. Juni 1999
Von Ein Kunde
Totally inappropriate! Not only is the language graphic and repeated often, the scene where the boys are ogling pictures of naked 9-yr. old girls is very offensive. I do not recommend that teachers buy this book for their classrooms. Parents if you buy it preview it first before giving it to your child.

Why must you use vulgarity to put over your point?, 1. Oktober 1997
Von Ein Kunde
I have always enjoyed every book that Louis Sacher has ever written since the beginning of the Wayside School books. He has been able to make children and adults laugh at improbable situations that if one is a teacher, one sees everyday. Because of his name, children will take his books off the shelf and read them. After reading it,this book concerns me. In all of his other books, Sacher has never used any profanity or vulgar language. His books have been ones that teachers could safely read to a group of children without worry - until now. His use of such words as pissants and assholes as a greeting of these characters is showing a lack of originality in using the English language. As a teacher these are words that though they may be used in the home are not allowed at school. Why? Because they are in school to elevate their control of the English language not to have it validated that these are words that are okay to use. This story is so good and is one that I would readily have read to a fifth or sixth grade class. The conflicts that David, the main character, goes through as to what is really mean and not so mean are tender and real. Why did Sacher feel the need to mess it up with the constant return to inappropriate language? Yes, as a teacher, I can read a book outloud and remove the language but what if a child likes the book and reads the real language of the book. I am tired of the excuse that "this is how children talk today" for the reasoning behind this kind of terminlogy. If there is no model for something better then one will never know any better. That is what "good literature" is to achieve. I believe that any literature should try to achieve this goal even when it is juvenile humorous literature.

Parents: Read this first, 15. Mai 1999
Von Ein Kunde
I have a 7 year old daughter who reads constantly. I try to read one or two books by the author before I let her read the author's work, particularly with modern books. I have read several Sachar books and I have been pleased. Although this book is meant for an older audience, I'm sure many younger children, like my daughter, will pick it up unknowingly. (She wanted a more challenging book) I was disappointed with the constant use of vulgar language throughout the book. The story line is riviting and very thoughtful but the language is highly inappropriate for children. Children imitate art... parents, read it first.

The Weirdest Book, But It is Great, 2. Mai 2000
The Boy Who Lost His Face isn't too bad! It's great! Ricky was my favorite character. You might want to check this one out if you like stories that make you feel compassionate for the character. Mrs. Bayfield is a remarkable character. This book is one of those that you never want to put down!

Some bad language, but REALLY funny!, 21. Juni 1999
Von Ein Kunde
I've always loved Louis Sachar's books, and this one wasn't different. Even though it has some bad language, some kids do talk like that. David has a lifelike problem, and the old lady and the curse add fun to it. I love all the funny things that happen to him, like his pants falling down, or dropping the test tube in science. All the characters are unique and interesting. I would suggest this book to anyone except younger kids. I really liked it!

"This is a page-turner!", 10. Mai 1999
Von Ein Kunde
The Boy Who Lost His Face IS SO FUNNY! I promise you that you won't put this book down. It is very unpredictable. As my teacher says, "This book is a page-turner." I give it five stars! Brendan - 5th grade

Not annoyed by the language, 28. Juli 1998
Von Ein Kunde
I have enjoyed all the Sachar books. This one ventures into controvesial language and behavior and nervous parents and teachers will worry that children will use this language inappropriately. I read this book to my seven year old and not only did he love it, but he found the discussion of such controversial subjects very thought provoking. There is a lengthy discussion between friends and parents about giving somebody the finger. What it means, how context influences meaning, who is aware or unaware of its meaning. I don't know where else kids are going to find such thoughtful and provocative discussions. Certainly not from parents and teachers. Thank goodness for Louis and his brave publisher. This book connects to kids in a dramatic and moving way, and best of all shows that reading can be a real key into understanding and thinking. Kudos to Sachar!!!
