I Funny by James Patterson

Basic summary [includes spoilers :p] I Funny is about a kid named Jamie Grimm who is in a wheelchair. He wants to be a kid comedian and so he has entered a competition. This is a competition that continues on to the finals. Sincd Jamie lives on Long Island, he enters the competition for Long Island. Before the competiton, Jamie is still in school and lives with his uncle, aunt and cousins. All of them of which he calls "The Smileys". Not because the smile a lot, it's because they almost never smile. However, Jamie has Uncle Frankie who is a supportive character who helps Jamie along this adventure. Jamie also has friends Gaynor and Pierce and kind of crush Golda. Since there are 2 more books in the series its easy to assume that Jamie wins the long island competition, in which he does. Jamie wins and moves on to the state competition which is continued in the next book and blog. Short Review?: It's a very humorous book, with some funny jokes in there. Also the story of Jamie going through his everyday struggles like him beijg in a wheel chair and being bullied is really quite a deep one even though its a comedic book. James Patterson is a good author and he writes similar book with the theme of middle school. Rating: 8.5/10 I like it a lot good read

    Middle school can be a tough place. It is good that you can read books like this. Do you think it is important to laugh about serious things sometimes?

      Well personally I like reading these types of books and sometimes it's even relatable. I do think that laughing about serious things, depending on what it was, is not too bad.

      Well I'm not sure to be honest, I do quite like the comedy genre as well as action and adventure, I guess I could say the same about movies.

    I read this book a while ago and really liked it, as you said about 'The Smilies" there is a lot of sarcasm and puns in this book.

    Well my favourite characters are Joey and Pierce because they are supportive of Jamie from the very beginning. And without them, Jamie would not have gone as far as he could I guess.
