Green Eggs and Ham, a Book Review



Professor Seuss wrote this compelling novel in 1994. It won several awards, such as the “Art is Wonderful”© award, and the “Hooray For Art”© award. In 1997, it was made into a film, which was a big flop for 6 months, and then became the highest grossing film since the one that came out before it, Art Allen: Man of Excellence.

There are many advantages to reading this book, such as its pretty flashing lights, and the ability to get you high. This book would be suitable for anyone, especially those recovering from AIDS, cancer, or a mosquito bite. Although I said this book would be suitable for anyone, it is not, it is only ok if you are eating a sandwich, and it is best if the sandwich is egg salad on wheat. It is also best to have the hardest rock music on in the background.

One of the bad things about this book, is that is had an orange cover. As you may or may not know, the color orange is the opposite of the color green, and we all know my feelings on the color green. This is an abomination! Isn’t the name of the book “GREEN Eggs and Ham”??? SO WHY IS THE COVER ORANGE!?!?!?!?! Was it some sort of printing mistake? Or did they do it just to screw with the heads of the general public? I don’t know, but I almost didn’t read the book because if it. I do, however, like the fact that although they are only found in the deep forests of the Antarctic, the eggs and ham were green, that completely saved the book.

The character that made the book excellent, I believe, was the engineer on the train. His character developed very well throughout the book, and really touched me at the end…no really, he touched me, and then he wouldn’t stop, so I had to get a restraining order on him, and now he can’t come within ear shot of me, otherwise I get to yell at him to go away. But I liked how the author used his drinking problem to symbolize preschool.

In conclusion, I have mixed feelings about this book, therefor YOU have mixed feelings about this book. Spite the cover, but love the inside, because, this book really does prove the old saying “don’t throw stones in a glass house.” I urge you to buy this book, but I don’t urge you to read it, just let it sit on your shelf for 15 or 20 years, and then sell it for twice what it is worth, to some pathetic collector. Thank you.
