Your book had a lot supence (sic) humor and a good story. I would give this book to my brother that lives with my real dad or my oldest sister because they like funny books . . . I will read a chapter to my little sister that lives with me . . . Dominique

I like the humor you put in, and how you added an exciting part at the end of a chapter, making us want to read more. I think you should never stop writing books because you are a great author. The Nose From Jupiter (sic) was one of the best books I read or heard in my life from -Andrew

It was especially suspenseful when Prudence and Miranda came to visit Alan in the hospital. All the next day I kept wondering what would happen next!! Audrey

I liked the book back when there were parts that were exciting . . . And then there were parts that were really exciting! . . . Christopher

Alan reminds me of someone I know, someone like me, because he is shy and I'm shy. Norbert is the funniest . . . From Charmayne

Some parts of the book you wrote were good, and some parts were kind of weird. This is all I got to write now, Mr. Scrimger. From Al

Thank you for wirint this great story. -Klaudine

It is a good book to read because it's fun, but there were some parts I did not understand because I fell asleep . . . From Tanika

Mr Richard I have some question is it Alan's imagination that something is inside his nose or is it really Norbert there? From John

I would recommend this book to children and adults of all ages. From Joanna

Your book, The Nose From Jupiter, is a really awesome book. There were a ton of jokes all over the place. I have never read a book so hilarious. There was not a single piece of the book that had no humour. . . . Your books has tons of creativity, suspense and humour. This is a book everyone should read. From Taylor

If I might say so, I loved your book that the teacher recently read to the class. It was so interesting that when the teacher ended the chapter not only me but the whole calss wanted her to read on. Let me tell you, the jokes were really funny. It shows the reality of life. We know that bullie exsists and we have to stand up to them no matter how scared we are. I wish I could write more, but I have to start on your other books. -From Whitney

I really liked this book because there was a lot of humour. There was also a lot of action and there was even some serious parts. . . . From Christpher

Those jokes about the cougars were so good!!! From Matthew

Hi this is Tom. The Nose From Jupiter was very exciting because there was lots of detail in it . . . Any boy or girl who reasds this book could understand it very easily. From Tom

well thats all for now!!
- BYE Samantha and Sarah

Dear Richard Scrimger,
I read both your books, "A Nose from Jupiter" and "A Nose for Adventure." I thought they were both very strange, but I liked them. I would have never, ever in a million years thought about writing a book about an alien from Jupiter that lives in peoples' noses. It's just way too weird. It was really interesting to see what Alan is going to do wrong again.
- Sincerely, Lindsay
