My best book is called Wayne Rooney the way it is. The best thing about this book is that it tells how became a footballer and about his family. Also, in the book it shows me his report when he was and kid like me. His teacher wrote that all he can think about is goals and goals. Every day when, Rooney was young he played football also, he used to play just before school started. I also like this book because he is a good footballer. He plays for my best team Manchester united fc they are the best.

right now im reading a book called “ipod, therefore i am” by Dylan Jones.This book is about all the diffrent styles of music over the 20th-21th century, from glam rock to punk rock to itunes.
I like the book because it is about the author, but it is not an autobiography, all it is about is his journey though music. I recommend this book to every one who likes music.

CASE CLOSED! is a very great comic. It is about a very great detective called Jimmy Kudo who always solved cases easily. But unfotunately that one very day he was attacked by a man in black and was fed a very strange chemical which physically turned him into a grade schooler! This comic makes you think alot because the crime in this book were always tricky, more like a puzzle. You’ll be surprised on how Jimmy Kudo solved all the cases! ENJOY!

My favorite book is The Thief Of Always. The author of this book is Clive Barker he wrote this when he was ten years old. I like this book because is horror and it’s a fantsy book. Harvey Swick is the main character. Rictus wants the attention of Harvey. Rictus is taller than Harvey by six inches taller than him. Rictus is a grinney man. This part is when he disappeared “The window opened by it self Harvey was cleaning his room because he hates the rain of February outside. The quote is the Beast Of Always of February.”

My favorite book is called ‘Blart’. I just love it because it’s so funny and interesting I enjoyed it a lot. The main characters are: Blart (loves pigs, doesn’t want to save the world at all and hates almost everyone), Capablanca (a wizard that persuades and helps Blart save the world!! Twice!!), Beowulf (a warrior who wants to be a night), Princess Louis (hates everything except animals. She is always angry!! Also marries Blart (she didn’t want to but…).), Pig the horse (everybody likes him and he can fly as well. He is the best horse ever and likes his name (which Blart chose)!) and Uther (he is a merchant which tricks everybody because he helps Zoltab, by bringing them to Zoltab. At the end he dies.). There is one more character called Zoltab. He is an evil person who want’s to concert and may be destroy the world. He has many people who work for him but with the help of all the other characters I’ve told you (except Uther) Blart saves the world. This is the best book I’ve read it’s awesome I LOVE IT!!!!! You should read it!!!

The book i’m reading is a child called “it” by Dave Pelzer. it is about Dave Pelzer as a child he was brutally beaten and starved by his mad alcoholic mother,a mother who played tortuous, unpredictable games (like making him lie on a cooker when it was on.) that left him nearly dead. She No longer considered him a son, but a slave, no longer a boy, but an “it”. His bed was an old army coat in the basement, his clothes were torn and smelly. The outside world knew nothing of the nightmare plaed out behind closed doors.
I really like it because you can understand how the boy is feeling and it is really well writen the book is very sad.

At the moment i am reading a book called illusion art it shows you pictures of optical illusions and you have to draw them. it is quite narly, rad, maybe even off the hook. I suggest that you all read it because it is very good and if you learn how to draw them then you will get good marks in your art homework. i hope you enjoyed reading my amazing book report. later sk8er’s. from flynn

The book that i enjoyed reading was ‘THE STUFF OF NIGHTMARES’by Malorie Blackman. It’s about a boy who has a fear about his father and when ever he goes for a run in the park he always gets the feeling that his dad is stalking him. It’s a good book i think much more people should read it, because it is a thrilling book and i think people will enjoy it more than i did.

Im reading a book called Crossfire and it’s writen by Andy Mcnab who is a former SAS troop. this book is non-fiction and is about press in Afganastan where a member of the news team gets killed in the middle of a fire fight and another goes missing. i strongly recomend this book, because it makes you think hard about whats happening and what to do.

at the moment im reading a book called “It was a dark and silly night” …it is a book full with lots of different comics, by lots of different authors and cartoonists. Some of them are quite funny ..in it aswell are activities that you can do yourself, such as, put the cartoon in the right order.

I like the book ‘A Child Called It’ by Dave Pelzer. It’s a pretty much sad story. But I read it because everyone else said it was good and I wanetd to read it and see what was so great about it. It’s a biography basically, so it’s all about this guys’ life at a tender age and all the stuff he was put through by his mum who sort of turned crazy and did not let him eat sometimes and brusing him, with beat marks and stuff………………..
Read it if you want to I couldn’t care less……………XxX
It’s your opinion.

Ok I picked up a random book and it was called the book of life, it sounded interesting so i had a lok at it and it was, it has loads of information about animals, bugs, birdds humans etc. it contains stuff like cross sections diagrams and you can probably learn a lot form it, so if you like information books then read it it, if not then you don’t have too.

At the moment i am reading Darren shan (the DEMONATA) series. IT IS UTTERLY UNPUTDOWNABLE and he is THE MASTER OF CHILDREN’S HORROR IS AT HIS BLOOD-CURDLING BEST.He wrote one of the best children’s horror and all of his books are 1st person. I think Darren shan’s books are for people who love horror. There are 10 books in total but only 6 have came out. The first book is LORD LOSS,the second book is DEMON THIEF,the third book is SLAWTER,his fourth book is BEC and his fifth book which i’m reading is called BLOOD BEAST and the sixth book is Demon Apocalypse but there are 4 books left. All of the books of DARREN SHAN contain HORROR,ADVENTURE,BLOOD AND GORE.Darren shan is one of my favourite book writers. HIS BOOKS NEVER GET BORING.

ok this is my second review – by force .
/ 
i’m now reading ” A Child Called It” by Dave Pelzer .
Its about a Boy called Dave Pelzer being brutally beaten and starved by his seriously evil mother , and how he has to survive .
The Plot of the story is really sad and a bit depressing – you would be if you had to read about a boy being beaten and having to swallow ammonia- . But its well written .
i’m hoping Dave Pelzer hasn’t written this book based on his experiance because that would eb abit wierd.=[ .
Anywhooooo..
Good book – apart from the beating
