4 Stars - Hilarious hijinks
Dave's dad is determined to teach him to be responsible. He demands that Dave spend the summer before tenth grade working a job and earning his on spending money. Working? What about having fun with his buddies? Picking up chicks? Getting a good tan? Dave isn't alone in his misery. His best friends' dads are all on board with this idea - demanding that Curtis and Victor also work during their summer vacation rather than "goof off." The three teens decide that they are creative enough to fool their parents by telling them they had a summer job, but actually come up with their own ways to earn money fast and then spend the summer doing whatever they actually want. And it almost works at first. Almost….
After cleaning out their most prized possessions, the three teens earn over $5,000 at a yard sale - too bad they accidentally damage a brand new sports car during the sale and have to use all the money for repairs. Not to be discouraged, the boys keep trying. They even do the unlikely - case out the local bank that has been robbed and are able to find out who is responsible. Too bad an old lady heard them talking and claimed the reward money for herself! Readers will get a lot of laughs at the trouble and BAD luck the trio keeps encountering. Dave, Victor, and Curtis end up spending much more time coming up with ways to get out of working than they would have actually working a summer job! In the end, though, their determination NOT to work actually pays off in a big way. Great read for students who enjoyed Happy Kid! and Diary of a Wimpy Kid!
Project Sweet Life is so awesome. It's about Curtis, Victor, and David's dad all want them to get jobs. But instead they find ways to make money and fake the jobs. They find these ways, but then once they get the money the find ways to lose it all and start all over. This book is really awesome. I recommend that you should read it.

ReplyDeleteProject Sweet Life is a funny book. It was about three kids that their dads made them to get a summer job. It also was about that the kids found a hide out that used to be a bomb shelter. The walls are so thick in the hideout that if some one was to throw a grenade in front of the door they wouldn't hear it. The author said that if a nuculear war ever happened that no one could get in except them because no one else knows their code to the door. This book was very funny and i recomend it to everyone.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Project Sweet Life so much! It is about Dave, Curtis, and Victor's dad's who all want their sons to get summer jobs. To them it is the optional summer to get a job , the last summer of freedom. So they go through so many things to make it seem that they have gotton jobs at KFC, the public pool, and mowing grass for the country club. So they go through all the trouble to not have jobs while practically working the entire time. A few times they have got into tricky situations and just barely got out and at one point out of jail and also saved their live's. Finally by the end of the book they come up with enough money to pretend they had got it from their jobs and meanwhile solved and old mystery/crime. I enjoyed this book a LOT and can't wait for the next one.
ReplyDeleteProject Sweet Life is a pretty good read, though it's kind of predictable at some points. I like the part where after the yard sale, the Mr. Moneybags statue falls on the beautiful Ferrari. I felt really bad for Dave, Curtis, and Victor. In Project Sweet Life, three fifteen-year-olds spend all summer trying to have a "sweet life" for their last summer without jobs...Their dads are making them get jobs, so they fake getting jobs at places like KFC, the country club, and as lifeguards. The book kind-of annoyed me at one point because I was wondering why they don't just GET JOBS! Instead, they waste a whole summer pretending to have jobs, sneaking around and lying, getting in trouble, and losing all of their stuff. NOT WORTH IT TO ME!! Haha, but anyways, it is a pretty enjoyable read.
ReplyDeleteThe story starts when David, Curtis, and Victor's parents wanted them to get a job, but they didn't want to, so they pretended to have one. They all got together and they decided to get some money so it looks like they were getting paid.When they tried to get the money they kept getting into situations where they lost money or didn't get any, but i kept thinking when it would be better when they just GOT A JOB!!! It's pretty funny when you read it so just READ THIS BOOK!
ReplyDeleteProject Sweet Life was the funniest book I have ever read!!!!!!! Dave, Curtis, and Victor all try to fake their summer jobs by finding some other way to earn the money. I really enjoyed the part when Dave broke the statue and the coins were all inside there. I cant believe they got 1.6 million dollars when they only need 7,000. I enjoyed this book the most because you never know what those boys will be up to next!!!!!! I give this book 5 stars.
ReplyDeleteProject Sweet Life is a funny book about how 3 boys' (Curtis, Victor, and Dave) parents want them to get a summer but they are to lazy to actually get a job. They go out of their way to lie to their parents and earn the money to make up for a job. They try several things to get the money but everytime it ends up as a fail. Why can't thay just get a job? This book keeps you wondering what their next idea is and are they ever going to find the money or are they going to have to face the truth? To find out you have to READ the book.
ReplyDeletethis book was great it just kept me thinking about how the ywould get the money. they lost it so many times. but they realy deserve this prixe...but not for lying.
ReplyDeleteThis is a funny book. I really dont understand why the boys just cant get jobs though. They dont even have to work every day. And on the days that they work, they dont have to work but like three hours. It's a shame. But it still is a good book.
ReplyDeleteproject sweet life is about three friends who have too get a summer job but they don't want to so they buy these fake out fits and trick there parents so that they can sneak out and pretend there working but in reality there just doing point less garage sales and trying to solve crimes and even trying to find how many jelly beans in a jar. but what they don't realize is there doing more work trying not to get a job but if they just got one they would have money and less work to do and less lying and scared that they'll get coght
ReplyDeletea very hilarious novel! loved it so much! it just shows how much true friends will go through together!
ReplyDeleteProject Sweet Life was an all-around amazing and hilarious book. I'm touched that they would go through so much for what they believe in, even if it's just not wanting a job yet. I also love how all get rich quick schemes all added to one thing, the thing they bought at the beginning of the book. I saw how the author would display the characters as stubborn teenagers, but good at heart. I loved it.
ReplyDeleteProject Sweet Life is an all-around amazing and hilarious book. I found it interesting that they would go through so much in what they believe in, even if it's just not wanting a job yet. I also find it astounding how all their get rich quick schemes failures added up to one successful rich scheme. I also love how they were stubborn but good boys at heart.(P.S. the one above is also mine but I forgot to change the name sorry.)
ReplyDeleteThis book shows that true friends go through everything together and nothing will split them apart. Project Sweet Life shows that you need to listen to your parents to stay out of trouble and to make you a good person and that is why i loved this book.
ReplyDeleteI really love this book. I dont really read that much as i should but this book made me realize when my parents stop supporting me with money i"m on my own. My favorite part was when they did alll that hard work on that garage sale but mr.moneybags fell on the neighbors car. I think its silly they went through all kinds of stuff just so they didnt have to get a job.
ReplyDeleteThis book tell sometimes thing dont always go the way you want them to.It shows good friendship and how they stick to gether no matter what happens.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed project sweet life because its intresting to see what will happen. But once you start reading it some things are very predictable but its still a good book. It stared with them trying to have a "sweet life" by them trying to avoid work and get all the money form what their summer jobs would have payed but instead they kept having bad luck. The yard sell money ended up going to fix the fairri. The bank robbers money went to a nother lady. The china tunnels ended up changing into a game area. But this book really shows there friend ship and how they are struggling in the heat and trying to hid from family hiding fromm mrs shelpy really shows that they are true friends that will stick together. I really injoyed this book.
ReplyDeleteproject sweet life is about three guys who try not to get a summer job so they lie to there parets about it and but wat they dont realize is there doing more work trying not tto get a job
ReplyDeleteProject sweet li8fe is An INCREDIBLE!!! Book. I really liked that they were to lazy to get jobs! And how thaey invent Project Sweet Life! The funny thing about it is that they try to get a rewards for dumb things like catching bank robers but when they found out who they were they were caught by the bank robers and the old lady that was in there with them told before they could tell, the next thing they try to do is try to find gold in the china tunnels but they find fake gold chips, the third thing they do is try to rob the old lady that got the reward that caught the bank robers but they chickened out. I Really Like this book!!!!!! <3
