Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Emily's Review
This is a great book. Most parts were really interesting. At first I thought I wasn't going to like it because I like books with beating up people, gangs, drugs, stuff like that so I tried something new and I liked this book. But Jack's Black Book has none of that.
Jack is the main character . Every one thinks and tells him he is stupid, a moron, or an idiot. But he is actually smart. But he keeps trying hard. He does some sick stuff that's gross. He shows his class his dead dog coffin. Jack ... Read More

Have you ever been to a buffet and didn't know what you want eat?
The book is Jack's Black Book, and it is broken into three random topics. Not knowing what you will get or how it's going to turn out.

This book talks about a 13 year-old boy named Jack Henry and his adventures of becoming a famous ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Jack's Black Book
"Then the odor of rotting BeauBeau hit me, I could feel my face contorting as if someone were trying to rip it off, and I began to gag."
This quote is from Jack's Black Book. This a story about a young boy, Jack Henry, who wants to become a writer, but when he takes the IQ test it says that he is not smart enough to do anything but manual labor. The book tells all about what kind of troubles and adventures he gets into over the summer, and never giving up on his dream of becoming a writer.

CRITICAL REVIEW OF JACK'S BLACK BOOK

Have you ever walked into a room and forgotten what you went in there for? Well I think this is what the author did when he was writing this book. He would start on a funny interesting story and change to another theme for the story. The name of the story is JACK'S BLACK BOOK by Jack Gantos and I'm sorry to ... Read More
