Jack Tumor Review È 102 S speech and brain chemicals is one thing but soon Henry Tumour is trying to make decisions about Hector's life than he'd likeCan Hector overpower his tumour in order to get what he really wants before they both go under the kni. I d really give this a four and a half stars It s not often you read a book that makes you feel bad for the tumor that s killing the protagonist but Mr McGowan has done just that The symbiotic relationship between the boy and his tumor works because McGowan gives Jack a real personality smart supportive vulnerable and yes reasonable He the tumor knows what he is He also knows the effect he has on the boy He also knows he wants to live It s a great idea and it plays out in a wonderful and satisfying wayThe book is full of fascinating characters and wonderful relationships I was sad it ended

Jack Tumor Review È 102 From the Carnegie Medal winning author of Lark comes Henry Tumour winner of the 2006 BookTrust Teenage Prize It wasn't my choice Henry was in charge As if school bullies and his mum's tofu sandwiches weren't enough for Hector Br. One of the coolest ideas a talking brain tumor and definitely one of the coolest opening words for any book Arsecheese The tone is set we get deliciously vulgar thought often decidedly man humour as well as unpredictable scenes featuring Hector Brundy your typical nerdgeek who s into comic books Star Trek as well as Buffy the Vampire Slayer That last part definitely won over the catHenry Tumour is a sensitive tale about growing up and making the best of things despite your shortcomings even if that something is a brain tumor that threatens to take over your life as well as your geeky personality When life is short the last thing you need is a brain tumor trying to turn you into Super Stud to keep in tune with the comic book theme of the novel The sensitivity of the novel is smartly disguised in brutally honest bully scenes sex talk and snogging fests with Uma Upshaw I am not inventing this name and tragic comic reveries about has been hippie feminists Also disguised amongst the stream of consciousness writing are important uestions about your own mortality and the needwantuse of morality in light of the finality of all things with Hector as the Ego and Henry as the Id This is never an easy uestion to answer but in the mind of a teenager with a brain tumor the whole thing almost gets something hilariously grotesueThe cat definitely rates this book 4 stars but she felt her mind wander a bit at times much like Henry takes Hector s mind on a bit of a mind trip Otherwise it would have been a 4 Be that as it may Henry Tumour is as fresh as fresh can get and you ll find yourselves sniggering along with the crude jokes and reveling in the TV and other pop culture references
