Reading response 10-16-14 "IFunny"

Have you ever read a book that you were interested in, that you want to become  the character in the book? The book that I am reading is called Ifunny written by James Patterson. This book talks about how Jamie entered a contest call “Planet’s Funniest Kid Comic Contest”. He has to move with his Aunt, who never smiled or laughed at his jokes. Now he has to go to a new school. He’s always with his friends in the cafeteria, and they invited some  new people to join. Now he has to move in with his aunt, the school bully is his cousin.
 In the book “Ifunny” by James Patterson, the main character experiences many hilarious moments. For example when his friends invited someone to the group Jamie was kind of nervous so when he tried saying something to the person, he was too nervous. So he said something random, but the person named Gilda thought that he was trying to be funny so she just laughed. Jamie asked why are you laughing she said because your too funny. So Jamie just kept going.
            In this book Jamie moved to Long Beach and was having a hard time living with his aunt. He was working with his uncle Frankie in a beach restaurant and talked with the customers and made them laugh. When Jamie moved to Long Beach he said “I have to move with with my mom’s sister because she is more mature than my uncle Frankie”. Now Jamie lives with them and since there’s no room he has to live in their garage. His aunt was nice enough to clear out the garage.


             After when that happened, his uncle saw Jamie making the customers happy and making them laugh. His uncle said “Jamie here’s a gift to go to the contest, you’re hilarious”. After his uncle said that, he went home and got his notebook. Whatever he was thinking he made it into a joke and wrote it down. “Every time I think of an idea I write them down in my notebook and write it as a joke,” he thought. This is a struggle for the main character because one day he could run out of ideas. Also he doesn’t like staying with his aunt because there’s a bully named Stevie Kacrove who always bullys him in school and is his cousin. So now he’s gets bullied at home and school.


            In the book “Ifunny” by James Patterson, the main character experiences many hilarious moments. I enjoyed this book because most of the time it was funny and at times I was able to connect with the main character. For example he has a bully in his aunts house, I have a bully in my house except he is my brother. I recommend people to read this book because if you read this book it will show how people struggle in middle school, at house or being in a wheel chair. This relates to the world because most people have the similar problems. This book is great for teens that are my age because most people can relate to him and understand what’s he is going through.
