5.0 out of 5 stars Great for any age, August 25, 2002

By	Samuel Krikorian (Charlotte, NC United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Great Brain Does it Again (Great Brain #7) (Paperback)

John Dennis Fitzgerald intended to chronicle his youth in Utah for adults, not children. His publisher thought otherwise and the result are these gems. I don't even call them children's lit gems because I find them just as enjoyable as an adult. Before I go on, you should know that Fitzgerald wrote one book about his youth that is for adults, called "Papa Married a Mormon". It is one of the most amazing books on the American west that I have ever read. Sadly, it is out of print, and you may, like me, have to pay an exorbitant sum to get a copy. Trust me, save up and do it. Now back to this book. Every single Great Brain book in the series is pure gold, and the entire set can be had cheaply, so I say buy them all at once. I "put my money where my mouth is" as Tom the Great Brain would say, and bought the lot.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Great Brain #7, April 3, 2002

By	"sean12179" (Washington, DC USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Great Brain Does it Again (Great Brain #7) (Paperback)

The Great Brain #7 was, at the time, a great way to end a series, with Tom not doing any big swindles, but instead going out rather quietly; he had grown up by that point. Of course, I say "at the time", because John Fitzgerald had decided a decade later to start work on what was to be the last of the series. Number 7 wasn't as humorous or adventurous as the other six, but it still makes for a good read.
