Book review on The Case of the Deadly Desperados by Caroline Lawrence

This book had its ups and downs. At first for me it was a little boring and hard to get into, but it did get better the further in you got. It was a little gory but it did suit the book.

      In the book there were surprises and a lot of cunning plans. The characters were all different with different personalities.

       The book got more adventurous the more you read. The case of the deadly desperados was excellent for visualising. You can really get a feel for where you are.

      My favourite part of the book had to be all of it! I couldn’t pick a favourite part as most of the book was action- packed and exciting.

       I would say that this book- or any- needs to be stuck at don’t stop reading because you don’t like it, in fact if you don’t like it read it more!

Book Reviews on The Brilliant World of Tom Gates by L Pichon

I thought that Tom Gates was alright it was a easy and quick read. I thought that the characters were good,I could tell who was speaking. I personally liked Tom. I thought he was quite funny and he was quite entertaining. The story line was pritty good,It made sense and I could tell where they were.  They all together  were funny. Some of the characters get on your nervs like Marcus. Marcus is like one of those people who winds you up and then you say somthig back and then they get you into troble a bit like a teachers pet. One thing I would change about Tom Gates is the font of the writing. It is too easy if a twelve to fourteen year old piked this book up and they looked at the first page they would think it is a book for three year olds when it isn't  it's for about twelve to thirteen year olds. I recomend this book to yrar three to year eight. Toms sister is  sneaky and slimey (LAZY!). I think Tom is a bit like me his sister always winding him up.

The Brilliant World of Tom Gates is an amazing comic-like story, with an amazing comic-like cover. If you have ever read a diary style book, then this is the purchase for you, as it is super funny, comic like, pictureable and a bit weird. The storyline is great, with maps of places, e.g. where Tom lives. Tom is a normal boy, that is good at drawing and likes making and listening to music. His best friend has a dog, so Tom’s sister runs away as she is allergic to dogs. Tom’s favourite band is dude3 and he sees them at the end of the book with his teacher, Mr. fullerman. I’d recommend this book to anyone who has a great sence of humour and likes to read. I think tom should have a pet.

Intro

Tom Gates is a copy of the diary of the wimpy kid if you know what that book is but in a different style. Tom gates is basically a diary of his life from day-day and what things he’s doing each day. But then his life went miserable in school but there is 1 person that makes him happy.

Themes

The themes in Tom Gates are happy themes and the emotions are mostly positive except from his sister Delia and she is annoying. He tells a good story about a kid's life that’s what I think from my personal view. The emotions are all over the place at one point.

Favourite character

My favourite character is the main character Tom Gates he’s funny and the way he speaks to people and the language he uses.

Readability

The readability is for year 5 and 4. I would say it very easy to read that’s why I recommended it to younger children and the language is basic but quite funny and there's not many tricky words.

I think nothing can be improved I would recommended this to age 7-11 years old.

Who is your favourite character?

My favourite character is tom gates because he always plays sneaky pranks on his sister Delia, but Delia always gets tom back. Tom loves his music. His favourite band is called Dude 3 and his dream is to become famous like them so he and his best friend Derrick have made up a band and named it Dog Zombies.

What is the book about?

The book is about Tom Gate’s every day life. Tom loves annoying his sister; he makes all strange and wired excuses to his teacher Mr Fullerman because he forgets to bring his homework in on-time. Tom loves drawing and doodling in class.

Internet gone bust!

Yesterday, four year old Charlie Carlson crashed the internet across the whole entire world. Charlie said that he was playing an online game when an error occured on his screan and when he clicked on the exit it only took him further.

The internet is trying to be re-conected but it will not work. "when it happened the screen when blank and an exclamation mark flashed on the screan," Charlie told us."it wasn't my fault though!
Charlie's punishment will be a sixty million pound fine!
This little rebel's mother, Corrine, said, "I have no idea how I will ever pay it all, Will I get in a lot of trouble?"

It wasn't my fault . . .
He was on the floor,shins cut open, motionless. I held the blood stained hockey stick in one hand, fear and anger in the other, everyone looked at me in dispare, worried yet ashamed. They were the judges and I was the suspect guilty of murder. I lay sobbing, my hand were as wet as a swimming pool, I looked up, I didn't know what to do but then I got some courage to speak, but all I said "It wasn't my fault," but they stared at me, boaring a hole in my head. I couldn't move, pinned by their beedy eyes. At that moment . . . Iwanted to be dead.
