Book Review: The play of the Diary of Anne Frank

Book Review by Amy Judge

I would recommend this play script as it great for people who don't normally read play scripts.  I decided to pick this book up because I had to read a play for a reading challenge.  I would thoroughly recommend this to a person who is interested in Anne Frank but doesn't want to take on the challenge of the whole diary.

Also, I think it shows more of the emotional side of Anne's family living in the annex together.

I give this 5 stars.

Book Review - Noughts and Crosses by Malorie Blackman

Review by Chiedza McNab

Noughts and Crosses is an Ok book.  It's not my favourite read though.  I enjoyed it more than Wolf Brother by Michelle Paver - That was rubbish!  But it wasn't as good as Holes by Louis Sachar.

I give it 4/5

We will be reading 'Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment' by – James Patterson

Book Review - The Knife of Never Letting Go

Review by : Izzy

This book had a very odd beginning.  In fact the first sentence is "Poo, Todd"  Also I think Todd is a stupid name!  It also takes you awile to get use to the idea of "The Noise".  But whn you get past the odd bit and get into it - it's alright.    It is action story mostly and parts of it are quite frightening.  It is told from Todd's point of view.  Also there is an odd page where it is covered in scribble i.e. "The Noise"

I give this book 3 stars and will be reading the next one in the series.





Review by: Lizzy

This is worst book hat I never read.  I didn't read it as the first sentence is "Need a poo, Todd".  Which put me off.  The book seemed stupid and was not what I was expecting from the first few pages.  I would rather listen to pop music for hours than read this book!

Book Review - Twilight by Stephanie Meyer

Book Review by Lizzie:

I hate this book, it's slow, repetitive and pointless!  It's the same generic vampire rubbish.  It's all regenerated trash and you can predict what it going to happen.

It's purpose is to draw in teen and pre-teen fan girls who are happy with mediocrity and believe that the characters are real.  The fans are so impressionable and they can be told anything to do with Twilight and they will get excited.  If you don't want your sanity damaged then don't read this book.

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars.

Book Review - Starring Tracy Beaker

1

 Book Review by May:

I really like this book because it's about Tracy Beaker who I also watch in the TV series.  It's quite a skinny book but its quite built in with words.  My sister recommended it to me and she was actually right!

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

Book Review - The Recruit

Book Review by Amy:

The recruit is a exceptional book which combines a secret agency with real life.  This great concoction of ideas forms an exquisite storyline.  The book follows the life of an ordinary boy as he goes through an intense training programme.  This is a great book with a mix of emotion, action and real life circumstances.  After reading this you will wish you were a recruit!

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars.

January's Read to Share

rUnfortunatley not enough copies of Hush Hush our read of the month came in for us to all share, so the group selected another read to share.

The members of 'Fectious Fiction chose "The Knife of Never Letting Go" by Patrick Ness:

The group chose this book they thought the cover was intriguing.  Amy said "The title is quite different to what we are used to" and the group thought the scribbled writing drew them in.

Hopefully, we'll have some good reviews to share with you next month.
