King of Nothing
I found the king of nothing a very interesting, engaging and reallycfunny. I loved Anton's sense of humor and found that it made me want to read on. I found the book eye opening to the feelings and lifestyle of someone from a 'cool' group and that someone scary really isn't that scary they are just putting on a bit of an act. I would definitely recommend this book to others!

Little Bang
I thought that Little Bang was based on an interesting topic but when it came to the story it wasn't so interesting. I found the book a bit predictable, there weren't many plot twists and it wasn't the most attention grabbing. The book did get a bit better as it went on however I think it was too late. Overall I would describe this book as more of an article of someones experience and wouldn't recommend it.

The Final Year
The final year was an interesting book that I usually wouldn't chose but ended up quite liking it. I would rate it 6/10

The Final Year
The Final Year was a book that I wouldn't normally pick up if I saw it in a book shop but when it came to reading it I found it quite interesting. I liked the format of the book as it was quick and engaging to read, although the fact that street language was used throughout the novel made it harder to read. and I would say that was the only down fall to it. The book explores the difficulties children go through, especially in Year 6 when it feels like there is a lot of pressure on you as its your 'Final Year' and when his youngest brother Dylan gets ill it becomes even harder. To summarise I really enjoyed the heartfelt themes this book explores and despite the fact it was a bit harder to read I would definitely recommend this book to children who are approaching Year 6 or are in the middle of it so they can understand what they might feel or that what they have felt was normal.

The Final Year
This book explores the difficulties of friendship and is relatable to some. This book was written in street language which I am not used to when reading a book, which made it a little harder to read. But overall it was a quick and easy book to read and I got more engaged in it as the book went on.
