I am a Genius of Unspeakable Evil and I Want to Be Your Class President by Josh Lieb

3.0

This was a curious book. A boy who is a super genius, but pretends to be a simpleton decides to run for class president to impress his father. The plot was definitely amusing and I was never bored reading the book, but I had a hard time rooting for Oliver, so everything that happened didn't really mean anything in the long run. Oliver is too smart for his own good and although he does enjoy some simple pleasure, you feel like he is missing out on the true meaning of life, so the book has a sad undertone that changes the entire feel of the novel and makes it hard to take it at its face value of a funny story.
