Query: I was disappointed

Maybe I'm just too old for this book (it is rated for 9-12 year olds). There was a section that was so funny I had to stop reading long enough to catch my breath. But there is a lot of material that I can't see being intended as funny, it's just in there to be gross on purpose.The writing isn't great (though I might have over looked it when I was 9), incomplete characters, faulty forshadowing, unexplained/unexplored material.I'm not convinced the humorous material justifies reading the whole book. In fact, I recall wondering at points "am I actually sitting here reading this?" followed by wondering "WHY am I reading this?"
