The New Avengers
The Trust
By
Brian Michael Bendis
This book is about a group of superheroes including - Luke Cage, Spider-Man, Wolverine, Spider-Woman, Dr-Strange and Iron Fist - in other words "The Avengers" . They are fighting against the evil shae-shifting Skrulls who started the superhero civil war. This was a very good book and i would give it 9/10. I like Dr-Strange best because he is magic and control minds and other stuff.
Charm School By Anne Fine
I recently read a book called Charm School,it was very good because I like Anne Fine and I have read alot of good books by her. I chose this book because of the interesting front cover and the blurb. I think everyone should read this.
My favourite character is Bonny because he an interesting character because she is a bit lie me and she goes to charm school and she is a very interesting character.
This story is a about a girl who goes to Cham school and her mum makes her. I liked this book because it was fun and entertaining and a good length. I reccomend this book for anyone who thinks they will enjoy it. I give it a 8 out of 10 :)
Why Eating Bogeys Is Good for
YOU
By
Mitchell Symons
This is an excellent fiction book with wacky funny stuff.
mitchell Symons answers all these wacky questions and plenty more in a wonderfully addictive book that will have you hooked for hours.
she answers "Why we have tonsils?
Is there any cream in cream crackers?".
i would rate this book 6/10 because it is kind of stupid and tryed to be funny when its not.
I would recommend this to some of my friends and will tell some jokes from it.
heavy metal sound trackers is a collection of diffrent rock artists that have a different range of rock songs that are good but some i do not like
Simpsons
Comics Extravaganza
By
Matt Groening
This is an excellent fiction book by Matt Groening and is my favourite comic.
There is 5 different storys in the comic and are very funny and I was crying with laughter. It has cool illustrations and great jokes and I will reccomend this comic to all of me friends. This is 10/10 for me and is a great simpsons comic.
Horrible Histories :
Bloody Scotland
By
Terry Deary
I thought this book was ok. Its is about scotland and the history with a funny side too it. It told me about both the world wars and what happened in scotland and about the medevil times in scotland. But my favourite part was the bit about william wallace. I learned that he and robert the bruce fought at one point and robert the bruce should've been with scotland!
Overall this book wasnt that good so i would give it a 6/10. My favourite character was Robert the bruce although he was evil
Breaking Dawn
by Stephenie Meyer
This book is the last book in the Twilight Saga.In this book Bella gets married to Edward and they go to an island for their honeymoon. Bella falls pregnant with Edwards child, the child is half human and half vampire.Bella goes through alot of pain while she is pregnant because the child in her is breaking her bones.The child needs blood so Bella has to drink it.When Bella is giving birth she nearly dies so Edward's venom is injected into her and she becomes a vampire.Her child was a girl and was called Renesmee.Bella was a fast learner as a vampire and was able to be around people much faster than other vampires.Another vampire sees Renesmee and thinks she is an immortal child.Alice leaves because the Volturi were coming.The Volturi came and questioned the vampires on Bella's side because they don't know if they should kill the child or not. Alice comes back with another child like Renesmee and that child convinces the Volturi that Renesmee is safe and won't hurt anybody.The Volturi leave and all the vampires are happy.
My favourit character is Bella because she was so strong and held on tight when she was diing.
My favourite part was the end because everybody lived (except Irina,poor her) and I wanted everybody to be safe and happy
This book is so great that I would read it 100 times over.It has the best ending ever.Stephenie Meyer rocks.
