Review for Captain Underpants and the Wrath of the Wicked Wedgie Women
After a disappointed 4th book, I was hoping this one would be better, and it was!
And that mostly was because of the ending, it was a really heartwarming and fluffy ending and it made me really happy. It really shows that these 2 boys also have a heart and are willing to forgive someone.
This time the villain is their teacher! Then again, the teachers are already pretty much villains with the harsh way they treat the pupils, but this is different. This teacher will go full villain mode! And it was just brilliant, she makes a perfect villain, and as expected from this series she does something like wedgies. I was not surprised at all when that was one of her powers and her way of battling someone.
The prank they did was a bit over the top, I was worried at how it would end. Even though I didn’t agree with how the teacher reacted in the end (wow, girl, violence is never good), I can imagine she is pissed. Then again maybe she should have been the adult and said no at the beginning.
I did love that they changed a whole schedule and no one noticed. The teachers did think something was strange, but didn’t care to investigate. 😛
We also have a Superman backstory (made up on the spot by our duo) for Captain Underpants when he gets in trouble, and I was just laughing so hard that they went for this instead of trying harder to find what they needed.
Fourth wall breaking is <3 <3. I just love that they are adding it to the story.
As I said a few times, I love the illustrations. I will just keep on saying it, but it fits perfectly with this series!
Well, I guess I need to see if I can find the other books in this series as I do want to keep on reading!
