The Ultimate Top Secret Guide to Taking Over the World

This book is written for kids, and I got it for my grandson, but I read it myself first, and the jokes are great. It has humor that parents and grandparents can appreciate, and any kid, girl or boy, will enjoy it.

It was a Christmas gift for my son. It was a hit! He loved it. And to top it off, I received it very quickly after placing my order.

While you thought Kenn Nesbitt was innocently penning more kid-friendly poetry, he was actually hunched down in his underground lair, developing a secret plan for enterprising kids to take over the world. Cue maniacal laughter. His evil plan is conveniently broken down in just ten(ish) easy steps. Earnestly follow Kenn's directions, and you will find yourself rich beyond belief, leading a band of faithful minions, overseeing the world. Or just laughing in your chair. Definitely one of those two things.Some of the steps are easier than others. There's a reason that Making a Name for Yourself, is step 2. If you can't figure out that Baroness von Crusher will demand more respect than Princess Sparkle Pony, you have not a prayer of Defeating Secret Agents (step 9). But don't worry! Step 1 is Becoming a Genius Overnight, so even if you are not the sharpest spoon in the drawer, it takes almost no effort at all to boost up to genius level. And what does that have to do with fitting a whole pickle in your nose or how much of your brain is made from fish fat? Exactly.I don't know of a better way to describe this book except to say it imparts super duper valuable lessons that you cannot live another minute without learning. Haven't you always wondered how to make mutant monsters? Wouldn't it be incredibly handy to learn how to stop time? This is the key to learning how to string together the perfect evil catchphrase, letting loose with the perfect diabolical laugh, and creating your very own evil theme song. If you are a person who enjoys sarcasm, wit, and odd ideas - congratulations, you just hit the jackpot. This is the book, people!

Kenn Nesbitt is SO brilliant, if he REALLY wanted to take over the world and become an Evil Overlord, he would've done it 14 (or 10) times by now. So I've got to believe that he's actually secretly a GOOD person. But this book has got me thinking that...I might like...to take over the world MYSELF!!
