Why read it?
1 author picked Memoirs of an Imaginary Friend as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Children will find this funny. How could they not, when the entire book is through the perspective of an actual imaginary friend, getting up to mischievous antics? For adults though, it's more like Toy Story 3 as you realise the imaginary friends are contemplating their own mortality, wondering how they could possibly survive when their friends literally disappear once the human stops 'believing' in them. So, look, 50/50 from a comedic level. Solid 90 for overall enjoyment.
From Tyrolin's list on middle grade books adults and kids can laugh at.
