The P.S. Brothers is a book that everybody would like. It is about two boys who have wanted a dog all of their life and finally find a place to get one, but they need to make money somehow. They get a job scooping poop, and finally make enough money to get a dog. They find a dog fighting ring in the owner of the dog’s backyard, and need to decide whether they should tell the police or get the dog. The book is full of surprises that will leave you wanting to read more and more. I didn’t want our teacher to put this book down. This book is extremely funny, sad, and happy all at the same time. The author gave very descriptive details about the characters and the setting. The P.S. Brothers is a very fabulous book, and one of the best books I’ve read. I hope other people will read this book because it is such an amazing book.

The PS brothers was an exciting book. it was suspenseful at the beginning, and only got better. edge of seat sort of book! it is a bit depressing at the end, once you figure out about the dog-fighting.but the humor makes up for all of that like the get a hose drink and run, or the librarian girlfriend. this book really confirms that you can get anything you work for. very heroic. NOW PICK IT UP AND READ IT!!! and no, I DONT HAVE TIME IS NOT AN EXCUSE!!! it only takes 2 days to read! go on now... you know you want to. dont have it? BUY IT! its worth it, and if you dont want it, it makes a good present too. all in all, great book.
ReplyDelete-joe and thats me, HI!
The book The PS Brothers is a very humorous. It is about two boys, Shawn and Russell who love dogs and really want a mean vicious one to keep them safe from mean people. They start a “pooper scooper” business to save up money to buy a dog from an owner who they soon find out is dog fighting. This book is very funny but on the other hand filled with suspense. I like that the boys are poor but they don’t feel sorry for themselves. I hope you enjoy reading this book!
ReplyDeleteThe PS Brothers is very funny. Another reason is its short. One more thing is it tells if your pour you can get money by getting a job.

ReplyDeleteThis book is about two close friends who are bullied and want a tough dog to protect them. They find a sign that has dogs for sell and scoop up poop to get enough money to buy the dog. They bust up a dog fighting ring and get the respect they deserve. The book has plenty of action and is realistic fiction. I approve of this book and recommend the book. I.M.

I love PS Brothers!!! It was so good! I love the fact that the kids were poor, I think it just made it that much better. When it talked about the bloody toothless dogs I knew it was dog fights. I felt like crying! :’( I love dogs. I like how even though the kids were poor that didn’t stop them, they kept going. This book was so funny!!!!!!!! I do recommend this book to anyone.

I liked the P.S. Brothers because it is a good story line about two poor brothers, Sean and Russell, who want a Rottweiler puppy which was four-hundred dollars. The brothers had never had ten dollars at one time! So the brothers go on a money making adventure called picking up dog droppings. They make about an average of ten dollars a week. Soon Sean and Russell find out that the dog breeder, Nick, is illegally making dogs fight in his garage. Now it is up to Sean and Russell to save the day. This book is so funny, mysterious, scary, action filled, and full of motivation. I would DEFINETLY recommend this book to anyone.
