Popcorn
What was the worst day of your life? Well, after reading Popcorn, I realised how stressful and full of surprises life can be. I really like this story that tells the story of year 8 student Andrew, who suffers from anxiety and describes his feelings throughout the worst day of his life. I love how he describes his anxiety as a kernel that can pop at any moment. The book also made me feel very bad for Andrew. It also made me relate to real life situations. In my opinion, the many different characters add depth with different unique personalities. For example Andrew's grandma, who has Alzheimer's. When she gets involved in one of the primary problems in the book, it plays a big part in Andrew's life and anxiety. I also liked Andrew's friend Jonesy. She is an element of kindness in his life and I think she's a good example of a very nice personality. Overall, I think this book is great for people who have just started reading English novels and want a fun to read book. I think this book is destined for a 9-12 but is still a very good book for any type of audience.
My overall rating: 3.5/5

Lord of the Flies: The Graphic Novel
William Golding’s famous book, Lord of the Flies, shows the dark side of human nature. It proves how quickly rules and civilized behavior can fall apart. A group of young boys gets stuck on an isolated island after a plane crash. At first, they try to build a peaceful society together. However, their perfect paradise quickly turns into a scary world of fear and violence. The story shows that deep down, people still have wild and cruel instincts.

The Boy I Love
The Boy I Love is a sweet book with a nice love story, but it gets a little too repetitive after a while. The main characters are really cute together, but they seem to have the exact same problem over and over again. Because they keep arguing about the same things, it feels like the story just goes in circles instead of moving forward. It is a bit sad because you really want them to be happy, but the book just feels a little too long when nothing new happens. I think it is a good book if you like soft romance, but it can get a tiny bit boring if you want a lot of surprises.

Lord of the Flies: The Graphic Novel
I think that the graphic novel "Lord of the Flies" is brilliant and thrilling because Aimée De Jongh clearly uses the same words as the original book from William Golding. I really like the illustrations.

Lord of the Flies: The Graphic Novel
I read "The Lord Of The Flies - Graphic Novel".
I globaly liked this book, because it is full of action and has lots of suspense. Even though some moments took me by surprise and came out quite chocking, the overall plot was very interesting and kept me reading. I also loved the small refference on how the grown-ups aren't actually any better than the children.

The Boy I Love
Though this isn’t a genre I typically read, I really enjoyed The Boy I Love. Danny and Stephen's relationship was sweet, and I found both of them to be interesting and likeable characters. Their romance takes place during World War I, a time when homosexuality was forbidden, and I think the story did a wonderful job at showing their struggles. Also, the writing was gorgeous and vivid, which I loved. However, I wished the ending had been a little longer; it felt a bit rushed, and I would have liked a few more details. Overall, this was a great book that I would definitely recommend to others. Four stars :)

The Boy I Love
I recently finished The Boy I Love and overall, I enjoyed reading it. The story has a sweet atmosphere and some interesting characters that kept me engaged.
That said, I felt that the plot moved quite slowly at times. Not a lot of major events happen throughout the book, and some parts felt repetitive. Because of this, I occasionally found it difficult to stay fully invested in the story.
I dislike that the book focuses more on emotions, relationships, and character development than on action or dramatic twists.
The advice I would give would be to try and avoid repetitive moments, and make the storyline clearer. There is definitely potential in the writing, and I would be interested in seeing how the author's work develops in future books.
Overall, I would give The Boy I Love 2.5 out of 5 stars. It wasn't exactly what I was hoping for, but it was still an enjoyable read with some memorable moments.

Lord of the Flies: The Graphic Novel
The Lord of the Flies graphic novel by Aimée de Jongh is a colourful adaptation of the original version. Without containing as much tesxt as the original novel, it compensates b with the quality of the illustrations.

Popcorn
Popcorn by Rob Harrell is a funny and heartfelt story about a boy named Andrew who has anxiety. It follows his terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day, which is portrayed in a way that makes it both awful and funny at the same time. The book offers a warm-hearted and informative look at life with a cognitive difference, showing how letting go of control can be a first step to accepting help.
The story includes real tips for coping with anxiety, making it not just entertaining but also useful for young readers. The book’s layout is engaging, with clear explanations too, and chapter summaries, which helps make the subject matter accessible. I rate it 3/5.

The Boy I Love
This book thoroughly surprised me !
There I was sitting in my evil lair ( D.E.I. (Those who know)), ready to crack into yet another YA fiction on my evil couch, when I started the book I thought it was boring at first But slowly but surely i started to warm up to the story, the diverse characters, vivid descriptions and complicated ideals all added to the experience of reading the book. It give it nine prehensile platypuses out of ten prehensile platypuses.

Popcorn is a diary like novel written by Rob Harrel. It follows a young boy's eventful picture day, the key themes in this book are anxiety, bullying and how he deals with these things.
I think that the fact that he involves these theme in a book that is primarily aimed at young people is very interesting as it also raises awareness about anxiety and bullying.
Personally, I don't really like this book as it is quite childish, however i think that it would be great for children ages 8-11 and also for people who are learning English as a second language.
Overall I give this book a 3/5

The Boy I Love
I really enjoyed this book. The world building made it feel very real as well as the story being very emotional. The characters were very well written making me fully invested in the story. But I felt the end was a little rushed and unrealistic. Overall i think it is an amazing book.

Lord of the Flies: The Graphic Novel
Some of the most mind-blowing & jaw-dropping illustrations I have ever seen!
This book is an absolute spectacle to the eyes but still manages to stay true to the original story of The Lord of The Flies. I would recommend this to anybody who wants a clear, short and honestly astonishing recap of The Lord of The Flies.

Have you ever had anxiety before? Then read Popcorn by Rob Harrell. This book highlights anxiety through our comedic protagonist, Andrew. In this poignant story, Andrew navigates through a disaster-filled Picture Day. This book shows all of the negative aspects surrounding anxiety and flips the reader’s experience into one of hilarity. I find that the book simplifies a complex emotion, for me it doesn’t seem credible. It is a very hard emotion to describe and I think that Rob Harrell has done his best to depict it. Perfect for fans of humorous fiction.

The book “Popcorn”, by Rob Harrell, is a morally deep book exploring the effect of anxiety on children. You might think this is a boring subject, but actually the writer excelled in writing in a style suitable for all ages. Even though you might have never experienced anxiety as a child, you might enjoy this book to discover the struggles that some kids have to deal with, especially in middle school. All for all, this is a very well written book, with a lot of funny pictures/doodles about a very relatable subject, understandable for all ages; I would definitely recommend this book.

The Boy I Love
Your book is great! I really enjoyed the story and it was very interesting. I loved learning about the war and I found the boys' love very cute although it was frustrating when they got caught at the end! I only thought the story took a lot of time to start and the end was very rushed.<3

Thanks to this book I understood more about anxiety even though I feel like this book could suit a younger age level.

i think that popcorn was a good book, though, not for my age level. i feel that it should be for younger students who are interested in anxiety.

Popcorn
Popcorn is a... particular book (in my opinion). I found the plot rather, interesting; lets put it that way. Like the whole plot is about this kid's weird obsession about school pictures to impress his grandma; I guess you can see in what way this is going. The beginning of the book is extremely slow and boring and the end is pretty predictable. I don't recommend this book.
