Mr. Gum

review 1: BONKERS! Totally nuts. I read this to my class in January. I laughed out loud reading it to them. Like, I had to stop reading to stop laughing. They, thankfully, laughed too.I just think Andy Stanton knows how to reach kids and this book has got lots of my 'nonreaders' to pick up a good book. They all - boys and girls alike - love it. He has a crazy thought pattern - he writes as the characters speak and you can easily get into a character. Alan Taylor - the gingerbread man with electric muscles - is mad. Friday is great and Polly a cool heroine! Mr Gum is quite bad, but he gets his comeuppance which the kids think he deserved. We had some great moments - espcially with some of Andy's repeating phrases, the missing chapter was GENIUS. THE TRUTH IS A LEMON MERINGUE!Read it... more if you are 10 or younger. Or 34 with the mindset of 10 year old or younger.
review 2: What’s for Dinner, Mr Gum? by Andy StantonA book that is laced with humorous undertones, quirky characters and the far – fetched antics three middle aged men, “What’s for Dinner, Mr Gum?” is a title that plays to those with a somewhat wicked sense of humour.Billy is the proud owner of a down – trodden diner, who is content with life and the regular custom of Mr Gum, Billy’s best friend and only customer. The story centres upon the betrayal of Mr Gum, a raggedy, down trodden gentleman, who to Billy’s devastation, switches his custom to Billy’s direct competition and arch – enemy, Greasy Ian and his house of slops!Filled with rage, Billy plots his revenge and an all out war breaks out between the three, with kebabs, bones and kitchen sinks amongst the artillery used by the three angry men.Though I found the light – hearted, quirky tone of the book to be amusing in parts, generally I found it to drag a little, and would prefer a slightly more subtle humour than what was on offer with this title.In terms of recommendation, I would suggest it to those in their early teens with a slightly twisted sense of humour, but my own feelings is that this would not be a title that would sit as well with a wider audience. less
