Maureen Johnson has an unparalleled sense of humor. I laughed so hard I cried. Possibly funnier than Haikus for Jews: For You, a Little Wisdom, and I don't say that lightly.

If you follow her on Twitter, you know Maureen Johnson is a "master tweeter." The madness usually contained in her tweets has overflown into this interesting, humorous book. I am not at all surprised that this is what Johnson contributed to the Project for Awesome.

You know what?
This was pretty fun.

I really didn't like the first couple of tweets, maybe I just didn't get them, but they got funnier and funnier as they went on and by the time King George the third came along I was giggling out loud.
So yeah a solid 3 stars, short but sweet!

This was quirky and wonderfully put together just like Maureen herself. It was a quick read obviously as it was written in tweets, but it was so much fun and really quite hilarious. And the last bit actually had be laughing out loud. It was definitely worth my money and my attention.

Very clever and funny. I like that she picked the Revolutionary War. It gave her a lot of characters/figures to work with as well as a good chunk of history to dabble with.
