The Strange Journal of the Boy Henry: Book 2 (Henrys Journal)

Obviously, Nielsen thinks bullying is bad, but her messages are mixed and confused. The perspective is deeply personal, but the book seems somewhat lacking in point-of-view. I loved the character of Alberta, a hip quirky girl who is a bit chubby and abrasive.

She is expertly drawn, but I never quite believed her romantic interest in Henry. It seems like Nielsen was throwing everything but the kitchen sink at this book to see which plot elements would stick.

Farley is also a wonderful character, and Nielsen rounds him out to be more than just another Asian nerd. Henry also develops quite neat and unconventional relationships with two adult characters who share his apartment building. While Henry initially pegs them as nosy neighbours, he finds that they do have something to offer. Larsen has so many flaws in plot and overall concept because Nielsen is a wonderful writer, smart, engaging, entertaining.

Editorial Reviews

She creates her characters with ease and never has trouble finding the humour in a situation. Her skill with words and flair for character makes this book worthwhile.

Edit Cast Cast overview, first billed only: Susan Carpenter Jaeden Lieberher Henry Carpenter Jacob Tremblay It had the star-wattage and the slick presentation, the money behind it, the talent on screen, the entire infrastructure of a major studio available to keep everything on course, and you have to wonder why The Book of Henry went so catastrophically wrong. Because this fiasco is Razzie -bound and no fooling.



The acting is tone-deaf, the cast works without an ounce of organic cohesion or conviction, emotions are either ersatz or unearned. And every tiniest role is filled by some oversized household name, mainly from TV: The Book of Henry arrived triumphantly pre-spoiled — it rotted in the box on the way over. To borrow from Hunter S Thompson on Richard Nixon, it is a triumph of the twisted gene and the broken chromosome, misconceived at a molecular-genetic level, ruined in the womb, born dead.

Everything about it is lazy and ill-wrought. Its central figure is that most tiresome trope, the year-old child genius Henry, played by Jaeden Lieberher , as lazy a short-cut narrative device as Google and the smartphone. Henry dies — agonisingly — of a tumour, but not before he has written the titular red tome, an intricately devised scheme to get rid of the abuser next door. The climax, appropriately, is the single biggest, silliest and most emblematic calamity of the whole movie: This kind of badness is exhausting, not exhilarating: I was tired from squirming repeatedly, and emitting exasperated sighs and sorrowful grunts.
