Nancy A. (Chocoholic) reviewed on 8/5/2013 + 291 more book reviews

First of all, please don't spend money on this book. Look for it in your local library or borrow it from a friend. It's just not worth the $20 that this book purports to be worth. This book is a collection of letters written by and to a little boy named Billy, who is a figment of the author's imagination. The concept of this book is that Little Billy writes letters to famous people asking for their advice and then records their answers. I suppose it was meant to be funny, but I couldn't muster up a single giggle. The responses that little Billy gets are pretty generic and formulaic. Oh sure, the Nestle Quik rabbit sends back a coupon for a free chocolate milk. Who could've predicted that? I found the selection of famous people that Billy wrote to is a little strange...Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker...a hedge fund manager...Oral Roberts...Kenneth Starr from the Bill Clinton sex scandal...a person from President Reagan's cabinet...a person from the Whitewater scandal. Just strange.
