One of the things I have learnt this week

This week one of the things I have learnt is how to write a book review. Book reviews need a plot (describing a bit of what happens) your opinion about the book, Your rating about the book and more. You need to tell the audience about your character's (hobbies,age,name etc..). Also you need to tell the audience specifically what you liked about the book, Maybe your favourite part of the book.

My book review for The Quake

                                   The Quake

                          By Eirlys Hunter

A fantastic book about what Hannah has to do to save her little brother Ollie and help her older brother Alex from a huge earthquake that disrupts them in the night.

A few shakes cause Hannah to awaken her in the night, She could instantly tell that this earthquake was going to be a big one. Hannah screamed out to her parents who were supposed to be home, but unfortunately they did not call back.

Ollie screaming, No sign of her older brother Alex (Not surprising, he always been a heavy sleeper) Hannah did not know what to do. Hannah grabbed hold of little Ollie, and woke Alex up and they both got under their doorway. Shakes surrounding them, their house was slowly collapsing and they all knew it.

Alex being the hero, went to get some food from the kitchen.

Alex saw the bookshelf slowly going to fall and then he focussed too much on the bookshelf he tripped on a few books! That bookshelf had enough, hannah screaming at Alex to move was not making him get up. ‘Creek’ went that old bookshelf, one shake was all it took. The bookshelf fell, Alex was in trouble.

Hannah was off to try and save her older brother awhile trying to keep Ollie safe…

In the Quake, my rating out of 10 would have to be a 9/10. The Quake is a good book for describing exactly what is happening in every detail so its really easy to visualise. The language they use makes you feel like you are watching a live show of the earthquake

Hannah is 14yrs old. She is one of those people who does whatever she can to help people,Even If it causes her to be endangered.

Ollie is 4yrs old. He is all about his toys, to him family is pretty close to toys.

Alex is around about 17/18 and he loves music.

The Quake is suitable for about 9-12 year olds, even though the people in the book are older. The book has really rich language that makes you lose yourself when reading. It really makes you get concerned about earthquakes and how dangerous they really can be.
