Mr. Gum

review 1: I didn't like this Mr Gum (or as he is called in Swedish, herr Grums) book as much as the first one. There are some really funny lines, though. Like the one about how there were never unicorns, some horse just accidentally got an ice cream cone on its head (ok, I'm not really delivering it right). A part of the problem was I wasn't in the right mood for all the silliness. Sometimes you want a proper story with proper words, but if you're in more of a wackadoo mood then this series will satisfy.
review 2: I was recommended this book as I enjoy comic children’s fiction. This story is one from the series of Mr Glum, which uses similar themes and repeated characters. Wherever there is mischief Mr Glum is involved. In this case the whole village is convinced into ... moregiving their most precious belongings to a past spirit, who has come back. Although they are warned against it by, they are as always, nearly tricked by Mr Glum. I was disappointed by this book, as I felt it was trying far too hard to be funny. The plays on words were possibly too hard for those the story is intended for as the plot is simple and obvious. The elements of ‘randomness’ I found forced rather than natural aid to the story.This chapter book could be a class reader for year 2, or as an independent book for year 3 – 6. It could be used as a series by the same author. less
