Advantages: very amusing and comical
Disadvantages: quite boring tends to drag on

I don't want to bore you to death so I will keep this short and sweet. This book wasn’t as good as Jacqueline Wilson's other books , I should know as I am her biggest fan and have read all her books. I found it a little bit boring as it trailed on but it was also very amusing and comical. This book contains 164 pages and some hilarious illustrations, illustrated by Sue Heap. The main character of this book is Stella, a young girl who has been dumped ...
...go off on there Swanky honey moon. Stella isn’t very happy about this and assumes that she isn’t going to like it, and at first she definitely doesn't as she has to share a room with 2 snobby horrible girls and is made take terrifying swimming lessons with Uncle Pong the organiser of all events. Something happens that changes all this around. I will not give away the end but What I will say is that this book only costs about £3.99 so I would advise ... Read review

"In the light of the moon, a little egg lay on a leaf…." I can recite the whole thing (well, maybe getting a little confused with the order of the different foods) and I bet I'm far from the only one! The Very Hungry Caterpillar has been around for a loooong time - nearly as long as I have, in fact, and that's ages - and is rightly regarded as a children's classic, which has been translated into over 50 languages. Apparently, a copy is sold every ...
...George W Bush has listed the book among his favourites from when he was growing up… a statement which raised a few eyebrows as he was, in fact, twenty-three when the book was first published in 1969. ~The Author~ Author and illustrator Eric Carle was born in 1929 - The Very Hungry Caterpillar is his best known book, but he has also written and illustrated many others, over 70 in total. Carle was born in Syracuse, New York to German emigrant parents, ... Read review

Advantages: gripping, strong characters
Disadvantages: not for everybody!

When the pack of books I purchased from eBay finally arrived, I was delighted by the sight of the pile of Sabrina books sitting on the desk. The problem, however, came when I had to choose one to begin reading! They all looked fantastic, I couldn't work out which I wanted to start with! In the end, I opted for one with all three Spellman witches on the cover; I guessed it would have a lot of Sabrina's Aunts in it, which I found I always preferred ...
...I sat myself down, and turned the first page of 'Spying Eyes'… So, who is Sabrina? Sabrina, played by actress Melissa Joan Hart, is a teenage witch living in the mortal realm in America, initially with her two Aunts; Hilda and Zelda, and her pet cat Salem (whom was once a warlock sentenced to 100 years as a house pet for attempted world domination). Now, she attends Westbridge High with her friends Harvey and Valerie. Sabrina the Teenage Witch ... Read review

Advantages: Amazing finsh to a great trilogy.
Disadvantages: None:)

A really amazing end to a fantastic trilogy. I have to say, io was disappointed it was over. By far the most heartfelt of all the books which made my want to cry at times. Yet, whilst all the characters are finally together again, you have to let a few of them go as they die. After reading the previous books where you have become rather attatched to their complex realistic lives, it is hard to let some of them go. As the characters battle many obstacles ... Read review
