events and fights the leader of them. The main character is Zack who is irresponsible, his butt leaves a lot and gets caught back. during the time he goes to search it. He learns more about responsibility and learns he was destined to stop the revolt of butts leaving. I can relate to zack because he lost something VERY important to him and he did whatever he could to save it. The one thing i didnt like was that there was too many enemies that were like a boss in a video game. there was about 4 major enemies but it really was annoying to see them. I recommend this to people who like a good laugh or are unsure what to buy. Show Less

This is a hilarious book about a boy named Zack who has a runaway butt that is psycho. In this book, Zack must fight kamikaze butts, giant blowflies, and a lot of other butt puns. I really liked it because the author was really clever when making up the butt puns, and mixed in adventure with

exhilaratingly funny potty humor. I highly recommend this book to all kids because kids love potty humor and hilarious books like this one. This books will give you hundreds of laughs and even eventually gross you out when you look back on Zack being sucked into the Giant Blowfly's proboscis. That's a plus! Show Less

Overall the book was pretty good and is recommending for 10-14 year olds. The book did make me laugh a few times and that’s a good thing.

did enjoy reading this book as I read the book a long time ago and it brings back nostalgia. Even if the cover says it’s based on a true story it’s not as it is to ridiculous. It still has a good and interest storyline; I think what interesting that bum get fed up the neglect and mistreatment of them and so decide to run away. It is a comedy, and has some laugh but its usage of the word bum is funny for about 2minutes then just gets tedious, it might be more appealing to the more immature audiences but for me it just got more and more repetitive throughout the book. The author did a good job will its characters, allot of imagination went into them. The author also did a great job introducing them, all were pretty interesting none the same as other Overall the book was pretty good and is recommending for 10-14 year olds. The book did make me laugh a few times and that’s a good thing.

A hysterically funny story about an unlikely, clumsy, and scared little hero named Zack. In this world, butts have little stick legs and arms. They can swim, fly, have teeth, grow fins (can be Great Whites), and they can be gigantic or miniature…in short just like in real life!

Zack, the famous butt-hunter’s daughter Ellanor, and the B-Team (The Slapper, The Kicker, and The Kisser) team up to take-out the Great White Butt and stop Zack’s butt too! Kisser pulls a nasty double-cross, but luck saves Zack in the end. Ned Smelly also stops in for more comic relief…wait this whole book is comic relief. One butt pun after another! This was a pretty stinking good book! I read it in two sittings!

I purchased this book for my 11 year old for Christmas. I picked it up one day needing something to read in a hurry. It was funny, and clever, and very silly. Perfect for a boy his age. And apparently just fine for me too.

We did not get past chapter 1 of this dreadful book. While my son has a healthy interest in bathroom humor and giggles at any mention of nuts, balls, flatulence, & butts, this was way too juvenile for him (if you can believe it). I can't imagine anyone liking this above 2nd grade, but the reading

level seems too high for 2nd graders. Literally, butts jump off of their human bodies and run around with little arms & legs, speaking English words of revolt in flatulence, and have a war with the butt-less bodies left behind for their rightful place in the world; on top of the neck. My 4th grader and I were disgusted. Show Less

The Day My Butt Went Psycho by Andy Griffiths ---- How may times can you put the word BUTT into a story? This book will answer that parental question. For the 4th grader in your life: It has been on the approved reading list so they may get school credit for reading it, too! WIN FOR EVERYONE.

I enjoy reading kid lit between my usual adult fare. Thought this might be fun. After reading it, tho, I don't see myself reading more along this line. Just not my cup of tea.

On his quest to find the Bum Hunter Zack winds up teaming with the Kisser and the Smacker and the Bum Hunter's daughter, Eleanor. Together they work to stop the butts from erupting a bumcano. Along the way they encounter a stink tornado, poopoises and a number of other creatures that belong to the species.
It is definite a kids' book for the ones that are into fart jokes and the like. There is a lot of action and the characters find that it can take team work to reach a goal. So there are some good points.
For me, I guess I grew out of gross - fart humour. I guess I'll stick with other topics. But if this gets a kid to read who wouldn't otherwise...that is a good thing!
