George's Marvellous Medicine

Title: George's Marvellous Medicine
Author: Roald Dahl


The Book is about a boy named George and his Grandma, you would normally expect Grandma's to be all lovely and nice but not George's  grandma. She's really nasty, a completely different person when Georges mum is not around and i think thats horrible. George's mum went shopping in a village before she left, she reminded George to give the  medicine to his grandma at 11:00, obviously he did, but she was so nasty and mean. George was going to teach his grandma a lesson so he makes up his own magic medicine combining it with her original medicine with  all sorts of other ingredients. I thought that was funny and genius, not that I would do that 

What I liked about this book:
I liked the illustrations in the book because they were really detailed 

What I  disliked about this book: Nothing really

Rating 4/5

Would I recommend it: Yes because this book I found very interesting just like the rest of Roald Dahl's books that I've read!

Letters from the Coffin-Trenches 7/20?





Letters from the Coffin-Trenches

by Ken Catran

The genre of this book is Action-War.

This book is about a boy named Harry, who sneaks into the war and

is Under-aged. He meets a girl named Jessica and really gets along

with her. He starts to send letters to Jessica and she replies with

letters also. Once Harry arrives at war he tends to write a lot less

as he has a lot less time to write to Jessica. Jessica applies for a

nursing job and eventually gets the Job. Her boss, Staff Atkinson,

tells her nurses that some of them may get transferred to a place

close to where Harry is. -All that I have read so far.


What I liked about this book is that it was not a type of book that I

would usually read but it hooked me in and was actually quite

interesting and good to read.


There were no aspects of this book that I did not like, and I would

recommend it. I also rate this book a 10/10.
