I am writing a book review on a book called 'Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging'.
I thought this book was amazing for any teenager girls to read. A girl called Georgia wants to be taken seriously by her mother and father but it takes them ages to be able to trust her.
This also helps young girls grow some confidence, I believe it helped me gain a lot of confidence. I would recommend this book to all of my friends as it's realistic and has good humour.
This book shows how teenage girls can change over a matter of time when a boy is involved. I think this book is appealing to young girls because its about boys and make-up.
Many people watch the film then read the book but I've done both and I definitely think the book is much better because you can use your imagination which is very important in a book.
Many people say the film is better because it has sound tracks to help you know how to feel when watching the movie, but I think reading helps you get into the book with your imagination.

'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time' Mark Haddon by Georgia Rote 8KT
I am writing a book review on 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time'. I chose to read this book because it was recommend by a friend and I also was thinking of going the see the play version of it and I thought by reading the book it would help me to understand the play more clearly.
The main character in the book is a boy called Christopher Boone aged 15 who has a Aspergers which is a form of autism. He finds it hard to understand other people's point of view and this sometimes make him confused and distressed. But when he finds out that his neighbour's dog has been killed he is eager to find out who the killer is. However he soon finds out that he is being accused of being the murderer by the owner of the dog, despite this he is keen to find out who committed this crime.
Christopher was told by his father that his mother had died of a heart attack and Christopher had grown up believing that his mother wasn't alive. As Christopher became more intrigued and suspicious that his father may have been the one that killed the dog he started to search through his dad's belongings to find some evidence which could support his predictions.One day when he was searching through his father's bedroom he came across a stack of letters that were addressed to him, he decided to open them; he then came to discover that they were from his mother.
This confused him because his mother was dead. Later on that day his father told him that his mother wasn't actually dead and had that his mother had just left Christopher's father and Christopher for another man and they had moved away. Also he found out that his father had also killed the dog! This news made Christopher distressed and he panicked and ran away to find to his mother. He eventually found his mother and he then lived with her.
I really enjoyed reading this book it was really gripping it was packed with different emotions some parts of it made me happy and some made me sad.I strongly recommended this to anyone of any age. 10/10 fantastic !!!!!
