The Odd 1s Out: The First Sequel

The Odd1sOut: The First Sequel is a lot better then the first book. The first book had half of its content already available for free on YouTube, so it didn't really make sense to buy it. However, this book is entirely original. Also, since this book is more opinions and ideas and less personal stories, it is far more interesting then the first book. James is really able to flesh his comedy when talking about random subjects and not just things that have happened to him. Now, a lot of the Amazon reviews I see for this book do not seem to understand it. First off: THIS IS NOT A CHILDREN'S BOOK!! While it does contain pictures, this book is not necessarily made for children. While most children can (and should) read this book, it is not marketed as a children's book. This is the same thing with James' YouTube Channel. While children watch and love the things James makes, they are not the sole consumers of his content. Because of this, there are a few jokes that will go over kids heads (James recommends creating a product called a "Trebuchet For Her" ). Regardless, the jokes are not blatantly adult, so kids should have no qualms about reading this book. The second is the whole "missing pages" situation. The pages are purposefully missing as a joke, due to them being missing in the "Conspiracy Theories" section. The joke (I shouldn't have to explain this, but I will), is that the editor/government cut out pages of James supposedly proving popular conspiracies. This is all done as a joke, and a funny one at that. Anyway, I would say going into buying this book that the missing pages are intentional, and this is not a children's book (though children can and will still enjoy it). With all that cleared up, this is a funny, well edited, and enjoyable book for everyone that is much better then it's first installment. Highly recommend buying.

impressed.
Good mix of regular reading style book with comics thrown in too. More written to read than the style of the diary of a wimpy kid books, so takes a little longer to get through.

My 7 year old read this and the first book in 2 weeks back to back and absolutely loved it. He would run to me eager to read a funny part in the book that made him laugh out or giggle. It was a bit more challenging than his usual reads but he was up for it with the humor it presented for him.

My 13 year old daughter really enjoyed this book, and read it in less than an hour. She loves this you tuber, and was very happy with the book. I’m
Almost done reading it myself and it’s quite funny. It has several mistakes that I’m sure will be fixed for the next edition, not my favorite kind of book, not the best literature, but it keeps my kids entertained and they want more of it. Nice pages and nice funny drawings.

Bought this for my son and he loves it!
