    This book was slow and lifeless in the beginning but,in the last few chapters or so, the book chapters started to have cliffhangers. I liked how the certain dance in the end ties in with some "Origami Yoda" advise in the beginning.

  13. This was the strangest book ever, but yet again, the illustrations made up for it. I loved all the chapters, especially the Cheeto Hog chapter. I think that this was a great book, And Dwight seemed like a really bad weirdo, stating that he sits in holes all day. I give this 3 stars. ***

  18. I thought this book was super funny. I really liked how Yoda kept mixing up his words. It felt like when ever he talked it would be like a puzzle. My favorite case on it was when he was trying to learn how to be good at softball. I'd love to read it again any time. ****
