The Great Brain Audiobook (Unabridged)

" I read these books when I was nine-ish. Loved them then, found 'me and my little brain' recently while cleaning stuff out and realized I like this book best. Everyone wants to be the great brain as a kid but we usually are more like the little brother who is more realistic and actually nice. "

" I love this entire series. These books were favorites when I was a kid, and I've enjoyed re-reading them as an adult. "

" I loved these books as a kid. I got "The great brain is back" (which is the last book in the series) for a birthday present and it was so good that I read the whole series. The books are about a young boy, JD, and his older brother, Tom, who is the great brain. The great brain goes around swindling the community, and often times JD as well. Great series! "

" My 5th grade teacher read these to our class. I loved them! They are still among my favorite books. "

" I loved this series of books when I was the main character's age. I'm not sure what I would think of them now. "

" Read this book with my 5th grade son as a classroom assignment. We both enjoyed it immensely. "

" I loved this book growing up. And Jimmy Osmond was the star in the movie! If you are from Utah or have any knowledge of Mormons, this is especially entertaining. Of course, the main character is a non-Mormon living in a primarily Mormon community. You've got to read this! "

" A funny about two brothers who one of them is a brain and the other is always getting trick by the great brain his Brother! "

" I love the adventures of the great brain. I have read all 7 many times. they are so funny and full of adventure. the small mormon community at the turn of the century is particularly intriuging to me. I love love love these books. "

" I'm on a children's book kick. Liked this book as a child and enjoyed as an adult. The little incidents are funny yet it's frustrating to see the "Great Brain" manipulate the situations into his favor. The "Great Brain" probably turned out to be very rich and was already conniving. A good, fun read. "

" I need to track down some old copies of this whole series...i used to love these books! "

" Simple, easy to read story. Perfect for 6th graders. "

" One of my favorites as a kid. "

" funny, I wish I was clever as him! "

" I read this book over and over again as a kid and now I'm not sure why. It was sort of boring and sort of frustrating and a little offensive. And yet...I kind of want to read it again. "

" I loved these books growing up but when I read them a few weeks ago I was astounded that anyone would have thought these were ok for kids to read. They talk about violence (the main characters beat up anyone who disagrees with them) and the swindling were too much for me. "

" I loved this book! I can't believe I haven't read this series before. Set in 1890s small town Utah, it is the story about 3 brothers and their adventures. I loved the unique setting of Utah, Mormons, and how life might have been back then. I will definitely read the rest of the series. "

" Someone bought me a boxed set of this series during my childhood. I read them over and over. And over and over. Recently found them in the basement, read them again. One of the great childrens book series in my mind. "

" I really enjoyed this fun, fast-paced book, set just before the turn of the 20th century in southwestern Utah, about a clever, mischief-making boy and his family and friends. The chapter about the water closet is hilarious, but what I especially liked was that homemade ice cream! "

" This was one of my favorite books when I was a kid. I got the whole series from the Eagle library and read them all. I especially liked the illustrations by Mercer Mayer. I always thought it was funny that the parents used the "silent treatment" as an effective punishment technique. "

" My daughter and I just finished reading this together. She thinks Tom had smart ideas she would never have thought of, but she didn't like how sometimes Tom didn't have integrity. He was a bit self-centered. We laughed out loud a lot. "
