However, I do like Jamie and I am interested to see what will happen in the next book. Whenever Jamie said what his next routine would include, his jokes weren't stuff that were particularly funny and I found it quite unlikely that people would have tears rolling down their faces from his jokes, as it was such random things that didn't seem like he was even trying to be funny. The one thing I didn't like about this book though, is that it was very similar to the first book and it also wasn't that funny. As well as one of Jamie's family members having a health scare.

With Gaynor's mom being diagnosed with cancer and the way he reacted to that. Even Stevie, the school bully and Joe's cousin, seemed nicer in the book. You could see that they genuinely cared for and loved Jamie and they were being more active in his life.

Jamie's adoptive family also grew on me in this book. I love Jamie's Uncle Frankie, you can clearly see the bond between the two and I love the way he encourages Jamie and all that he does for him. I like Cool Girl as well, she's sweet to Jamie and she seems like a down-to-earth, dependable person. She's a great friend and has such a unique personality. I also like Pierce and how he always has new facts to tell everyone. It was nice knowing that there was someone who I could kind of relate to in this book. My mom has M.E./CFS and lately it's been bad again so I can completely understand how he feels. I really sympathised with Gaynor when his mom got cancer and how he felt so useless and angry that his mom was sick. The supporting characters were fantastic too and I love I to learn more about their lives. I would love it if James Patterson had that happen! I hope that one day he can walk again, if he gets the required surgery. 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. I received I Even Funnier a few weeks ago to review.
