EXAMPLE OF A BOOK REVIEW

Here is an example of a book review for Harry Potter. This is how your review should be set out.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone
By JK Rowling
Lexile- 880

Review by Mr Simojoki

Harry’s parents met an unusual death at the hand of the evil wizard Voldemort, so Harry went to live with his mean Aunt and Uncle. Harry thinks he is an ordinary boy, but he is a wizard. He goes to a special school for witchcraft and wizardry. This school is called Hogwarts. Harry and his friends search for the Philosopher’s Stone which holds powers. While doing this, Harry and his friends have many thrilling adventures.

I really love this book. I’d give it a 10 out of 10. Read the book as soon as you can. I would recommend this book for children from the age of 9 to 14. I cannot wait to read the rest of the Harry Potter series.

    This book is about this mouse called Geronimo Stilton and his sister Thea, his brother Trap and his nephew Benjamin. They run a newspaper in New Mouse City and they go on a trip to find the ruby of fire, a hidden gem in the Amazon jungle. Geronimo meets these natives and the papa is called Strongfur, the mama is called Warmfur and the daughter is called Monkeyfur. Geronimo teaches Monkeyfur how to write.There are these rodents which are trying to steal the ruby to sell for money .The Boss Mike Miceson ,he looks big and scary and strong but when you get to meet him he is not strong he is scared of every thing. A bunch of ants crawled all over him and he went crazy! Another character is Bone, and a rat rodent called NastyTail.And the ruby was found by???

The Cavemansons told them that the only place where vegetables are is in the Neanderthalsons village but the problem is that the Neanderthalsonsare evil so the Humansons go on a adventure to find vegetables. Will they ever rebuild the Wash and Clean?

    I found this book to be okay but I did find the writing sometimes cheesy. The story line was childish at times so I give this book a 3 out of 10.
