 THE BEST BOOK EVER !!!! May 31, 2008
The homework machine is a great book it is about a group of kids who become friends. They become friends by using a machine made to do homework codenamed Belch. The book is very very funny and knows just when to add humor to it. The only bad thing about this book is that you wish the book was longer.
I think this is a good book for kids and grown-ups alike. You should read this book as soon as you can, so you can read it before people start talking about it and you look like a dummy. Read it today!

This book is about four kids who create a homework machine to do they're homework for them, but is this a gift or a curse? Their classmates begin to get suspicious and attempt to get them to admit it, but will one of them crack?
I enjoyed how everyone gets to express they're own point of view throughout the book, and how the author introduces different characters throughout the book. It's a shame that it didn't last longer, but then again I didn't stop reading it so that would be why.
The homework machine is one of my favourite books of this genre the layout is fun to read, Dan Gutman has exceeded himself in this book. I like how people that are completely different gradually over time become friends. This was one of the greatest books I've read in a long time. You have to read this book, beacause it is a brilliant read that will interest your kids and most likely yourself.

I bought this for my Grandson (age 7) but he isn't quite old enough to thoroughly enjoy it - I think on reading it that a nine-year-old would enjoy it more and I'm saving it for him to read in another year or two. He is, however, a great far of Mr. Gutman's "My Weird School" series.
Giggle-inducing book - a joyful read for our son January 21, 2008

This book was such a source of fun and pleasure for our 8 year old son during a recent vacation in New Zealand which involved LOTS of hours on the road. P. is an avid and advanced reader and had already gone through the books he brought for the trip, so his older sister lent him The Homework Machine. He enjoyed it so much, he read it 3 times in just a few days and was giggling throughout the book. What made it a great experience for the whole family was that he would read his favorite passages out loud to us so we could all enjoy the humor. There were also alot of interesting facts in the book that provided new learning for him and served as interesting topics of discussion as a family.
Highly recommend this book to any family library!!
I Wish I Had That Machine!!!!!!!!!! December 12, 2007

The Homework Machine is about 4 kids who sit next to each other at Grand Canyon Middle School. Their names are Brenton Damagatchi, Kelsey Donnelly, Sam Dawkins, and Judy Douglas. Do you notice that their last names all start with D? Well that is why they are called the D Squad by their class. Brenton is a genius, Kelsey is a average girl, Sam is the average bully , and Judy is Brenton's friend. They all are bonded together with one secret: Belch. Belch is what they call The Homework Machine. They come every day to Brenton (The creator of Belch)'s house to `do' homework. They decide to keep Belch a secret, because if someone finds out, everyone will use it. But then, someone spills the secret of the homework machine. Who is it? You will have to read the book to find out. I thought The Homework Machine was GREAT! It's perfect for all ages, unlike other of Dan Gutman's books (Which are also good) that use the word Cr-p. Dan Gutman barley uses stereotypes, especially not the teacher. The lesson from the book is: DO NOT CHEAT!!!! Overall, I thought that this was one of the best books I have ever read (And I read every Roald Dahl book!)
