?ItTakesTwo? came as the debut release from the Harlem, New York Hip Hop duo of Rob Base & DJ E-Z Rock in 1988 and finds them coming to bring an album that uses its lead, and most well-known single as the title to it.

I thought that the author did a brilliant job at portraying Lionel's agonies and the trauma of his first ...
Advantages: Funny, will make you laugh out loud Disadvantages: None I can think of

I came across this one after a while, and it had rave reviews. Also, on a book forum I am a member of, they couldn't recommend it highly enough to me so I decided I would have to get it to have a go. And as usual, the book didn't disappoint!
