review 1: On the back of the ‘Doctor Proctor's Fart Powder’ written by Jo Nesbø is the claim that this is the story of a fart. And that is the truth.But the prejudice that Nesbø used a vulgar and meaningless way to attract attention reader should leave aside. This is a high quality and very tense novel for children and young teenagers for which ridiculous physiological human need served only as a very good teaser for even better story.Jo Nesbø, the Norwegian writer known for his world-wide popular thriller books, came into children's literature with eccentric figure of the old Doctor Proctor and so far he wrote four novels about his lucid inventions.A redhead Nilly is a tiny boy who moved to Oslo and in his new neighborhood he will become close with a girl Lisa and senior Doc... moretor Proctor, an unusual scientist who for years unsuccessfully is trying to patent his unusual inventions. Trying to blend medicine for hay fever, Dr. Proctor quite accidentally invented the substance that provokes blowing unbelievable strong “winds”, though fortunately they don’t stink. Nilly and Lisa will become Dr. Proctor assistants, but guardians as well when his loved experiments someone will attempt to steal...Winds blowing in children's literature came with the book BFG (‘Big Friendly Giant’) written by Roald Dahl, whose characters, with the help of bubbling potion were belching and blubbering on their backside. Not at all vulgar, Nesbø has used same ridiculous motif to attract children's attention and on it built an elaborate plot that would, no doubt, look good in the animated version. Peculiar boy characters such as Greg Heffley and Horrid Henry recently became favorites among young readers and Nilly fits perfectly into this trend. The lack of height he successfully compensates with his sarcastic attitude and frequent, but polite conflicts with authorities.The frayed motif of unusual scientist and children that helps him didn’t hurt well-made story that reveal some interesting details about Norway as well as the shortcomings of the police system for which the author couldn’t withstood not to mock. Parallel plot that follows the exciting life of an underground sewage in Oslo, through which dangerous creatures are going, contributes to a sense of tension, and the author at the very end successfully links that part of plot to the primary story.Nesbø, above all, wants to make laugh his young readers but he didn’t neglect providing the lessons. Discretely and intermittently he gives advices about life, justice and friendship, not leaving the novel entirely for ridiculous and suggestive names of characters and Proctor inventions, but provides an exceptional story. The humor is not slowing down from start to finish, and eccentric characters, fluent text and engaging storytelling skills give the impression that Nesbø really successfully sailed into the waters of children's literature.Therefore, I’m sure that novels about Dr. Proctor audience will receive with the same enthusiasm as Nesbø’s mystery thrillers.Pencil sketched illustrations with an emphasis on the expression of emotion and humorous details were signed by Per Dybvig.
review 2: Doctor Proctor invented a wonderful powder, that, inevitably, makes you fart, as we are in a traditional children book, but with to such an extent that he tries to sell the powder to the NASA, in the hopes of revolutionising space travel and the way astronauts release the gas on take-off. He is helped by two neighbourhood children. We will also meet a giant anaconda, a neighbour and his two bullying children and the parade for the 17th of May.This sums up this short funny book which was recently made as a film in Norway.^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^Le professeur Séraphin a inventé une poudre extraordinaire, qui fait forcément prouter, puisque nous sommes dans un livre pour enfants classique, mais d'une force telle qu'il cherche à vendre le produit à la Nasa pour révolutionner le voyage spatial et la façon dont les astronautes mettront les gaz. Il sera aidé par deux enfants du voisinage. Nous verrons aussi un anaconda géant, un voisin et ses deux enfants bourrus et le défilé de la fête nationale.Voici le résumé de ce petit livre amusant qui vient d'être adapté au cinéma en Norvège. less
