Incognito Mosquito Flies Again!,
By
This review is from: Incognito Mosquito Flies Again! (Paperback)
ISBN 0394867289 - Riddled with "funny" puns that aren't particularly amusing - with two notable exceptions being the Russian Cagey Bees and Fidel Cockroach - Incognito Mosquito tends to be too hard to read because of those very puns. The cases in the book are supposed to be the mystery, but you'll spend as much, if not more, time on the thinking through of the endless puns.
A nameless reporter is sent to sit in on a one day seminar taught by none other than Incognito Mosquito. I.M. relates several cases to his students and, in the end, manages to outsmart the reporter and protect his identity - again. Mad Magazine fans might find this series is up their alley, and kids are bound to be more amused than adults but the endless, countless puns are distracting from the actual story. If puns are your thing, this is your book - if it's the cases you're after, opt for Encyclopedia Brown, McGurk, the Boxcar Children, the Bobbsey Twins or a myriad of other far more readable books. - AnnaLovesBooks |
