Henry Reed's Think Tank

Title of the book: Henry Reed's Think TankBy: Keith RobertsonReviewed by: P. ElayathPeriod: 1 This book is an excellent book for anybody. Henry lives in Italy, but he comes to the U.S.A for the summer to live with his Aunt and Uncle. His best friend, Midge, is the same age, and she is a lot like Henry(which is how they came to be friends). When they decide to start a think tank, everyone begins to run to Henry and Midge for help. They help people only with practical problems. They get all sorts of people with mind troubling problems- from a lady who wants to get rid of the annoying geese without shooting or killing them to people with diet problems. While helping these people, they find themselves in hilarious situations. You should read this humor book to find out what happens to them. Some parts in this book are boring, but the other parts just crack you up. One of my favorite quotes is(on page 52), "That's what my husband threatens to do. He says he is going out with a gun some morning and shoot enough geese to fill the freezer. But there are several things wrong with that. One-he doesn't have a gun and his eyesight is so poor he wouldn't hit anything anyhow. And second, the geese aren't on our place most of the time-they are next door. By the way, I'm Mrs. Walcott. Are you familiar with the roads around here?" I like this quote because it makes me laugh. She talks about her husband like he doesn't even know what a gun is. First, it sounds like he is a pretty good shooter, but when she talks about the reasons why it isn't a good thing to shoot the geese, she says it like he can't even pick a gun up. Another of my favorite quotes is on page 58. " My meter has run out and here comes the law." I also like this quote because it foreshadows the event to come. The next couple of paragraphs explain what happens. To find out the next unbearable event, read this hilarious book, Henry Reed's Think Tank. I really liked all the parts in this book even if some were boring. I liked all the segments because they just brought up even more funny moments. Even the tiring parts make you laugh. That's how fantastic this book is. I recommend this book to all readers.
