This book is only for the silliest of the silly! Ollie did it again, writing an absolute masterpiece under Josh’s name. The countless word jokes and clever puns had me smiling throughout the entire story, and it was a really good and exciting plot. Well done JOLLY! 🧡

Congratulations, Josh Carrott! This is officially the silliest book I've ever read.
Why? The plot is basic: an imaginary carrot (Muncho) and his human friend (Josh Carrott) save Mars from destruction. Mars is the home of all the sentient carrots, of whom Muncho was one that was sent to Earth to befirend Josh and save Mars.
From what? From a gigantic drill operated by an evil cosmetic company that mines the key chemical that only Mars produces that makes people youthful.
I'm only scratching the surface of the carrot. There are far more characters and interesting interactions and deathless dialogue and monologue.
The story is funnier when you realize Josh Carrot didn't write the book, but his Youtube co-host Ollie did, just like when he wrote Josh's autobiography and gave it to him for Christmas.
Try it, if you like silly.

I love the premise of this: a silly stupid almost-fanfic like book about friendship. Unfortunately this one is a real miss for me, despite how much I love Josh and Ollie.
It was boring. I got so bored reading this…
Did he have a word count he had to hit? The whole thing just read like a poorly written, aggressively millennial dad joke. It seems like Ollie’s humor works best when it is spontaneous and sprinkled into their videos, but written down like this…it’s just kind of predictable and drawn out.
I’m curious if any professional writers or people with English or creative writing degrees helped Ollie in the writing of this book…cuz some of the plot devices and foreshadowing and breaking of pov simply took all the suspense and fun out of reading.

It was absolutely fun to read another one of Ollie's silly creations. If you're expecting a literary masterpiece, you've come to the wrong place, but if you like Josh and Ollie and want to just have a good time this book is definitely for you. :)

So unhinged but so pleasantly hilarious!

A novel that gets more silly and self-mocking as it goes along. But it was all for a good cause, right?
