There were quite a few instances in this book where he tells us how he misses his family who died in a car accident a few years ago and how he wishes he didn't have to be in a wheelchair. He's a great friend and has a sweet personality and loves to make those around him laugh. I think as the series continues I will grow to love him.

I really like Jamie! In the first book I liked him, and in this book he grew on me even more. I won't say much more, as it will give away the story. In I Even Funnier, Jamie is preparing for the semi-finals in Las Vegas for The Planet's Funniest Kid Comic Contest, trying to ace his exams and trying to find his way through the obstacles in middle-school. I was worried that the I Funny books would be too "middle-grade" with immature humour and no depth, but I surprisingly enjoyed it! And in my opinion, the sequel to I Funny, I Even Funnier, was even better. At the time, I wasn't really sure if I would enjoy it or not, but after reading the first book I was feeling less weary towards it. Overall I would give this a 9.5 out of 10- not perfect, but fantastic all the same.I received I Even Funnier a few weeks ago to review. I liked this book a lot, maybe even better than the first one! A few new characters are introduced, and as mentioned in my review of I Funny, there is a crossover for a few pages where Rafe Khatchadorian( Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life and others) meets Jamie Grimm! Also, there are slightly more jokes than in the first volume, and there are better jokes as well. There, he gets trampled by one of his former idols and finds out that Judy, who came in second at the competition in New York, is back for round two. After all of this, Jamie goes to the competition in Boston.

However, Kosgrov comes along and ruins everything, and Jamie and Pierce find out that Gaynor got the money from stealing out of people’s lockers. While at the theater, Gaynor treats all of them to popcorn, and lots of other things with cash that “his mother gave him.” Joey Pierce and Jimmy Gaynor, Jamie’s best friends, come along as well. But before that, he still has to deal with Stevie Kosgrov, bully extraordinaire, and goes on a date with Gilda Gold to a movie theater. In this sequel to I Funny, Jamie Grimm comes back with a bang.Īfter winning the competition for Planet’s Funniest Kid Comic in Long Island and in New York, next up is the competition in Boston. WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD! If you haven’t read I Funny, you may want to skip this for now…
