How smart a book character can be.
I was watching the other day a movie. It’s not important what movie it was, what is important is the movie pictured a smart and cool character. Well… the problem was that I did not consider him to be quite so smart. There were certain situations where I thought he could have behaved better. 
Now I’m just bragging.
OK. But now let’s be serious about it. How smart a book character can be. Well, I guess, not smarter then the author who portray him. But a good book is not required to have a smart character. There are books written to be funny, to inspect the human mind or soul or whatever. But there are books in which the action revolves around a character, a strong character, a smart character. He defines the book.
I’m a S.F. fan and one of the characters that have impressed me is was Hari Sheldon from the Foundation series written by the Isaac Asimov. But hey, he was a university professor with a PhD in chemistry and with over 500 volumes written. So, I may say, quite a smart man. No wander his characters are very well written. And the list can continue.
