I am a Genius of Unspeakable Evil and I want to be your Class President by Josh Lieb is a funny, smart, and great book. It's about a kid, Oliver, who's in 7th grade and is amazingly smart but acts really dumb. Everyone who knows him thinks he's stupid, even his parents, when really he's the 3rd richest man in the world, has a secret lair under his house, cameras around the school, and a Russian dog who can load and fire an armor-piercing missile. Oliver's fine with acting dumb if it means he can keep his secret fortune, but when his dad says that he doesn't think Oliver could win class president, Oliver decides he's up for the challenge winning while keeping the same reputation of being clueless.Josh Lieb is a hilarious author. Turns out he's also an Emmy-winning Executive Producer of The Daily show with Jon Stewart, and has also worked on The Simpsons and NewsRadio.
I thought the book was excellent and super funny. The plot was really good as well, but I didn't really like the ending. It was weird how he goes off, showing his true feeling, and then decides to pee his pants to get everyone to go back to believing that he's stupid. It was also a bit of a cliff hanger, but at the back it says that Josh Lieb is working on the next book, so hopefully it will fill in the gap the ending left you.
But over all: great book. Highly recommend it.
I'm gonna give it a 7.
