Title of book: Scorpia Rising
ReplyDeleteAuthor: Anthony Horowitz
Favourite scene from the book:
I best like the scene when pendemonium broke loose at Smithers' 'grade-3' house in Cairo. MI6's enemies had located Smithers' house, and had a mission to kill him. However, Smithers had many gadgets-in-disguise. It caused most of the enemies' guards to fall into confusion, giving time for Alex, his guardian Jack, and Smithers, enough time to escape into the crowds on the street. But the escape was not through an ordianry door; the fridge's door in Smithers' kitchen leads into the crowded street from a desert! I like this scene as the gadgets Smithers used looked very ordinary, but in fact were gadgets that had unexpected features.
Rating of book: 5 stars!!!
Title of the book: Dizzy
ReplyDeleteAuthor: Cathy Cassidy
Favourite scene from the book:
My favourite scene from the book is when Dizzy's father and mother (known as Storm) starts fighting over their daughter and in the end ended the fight because Dizzy's father was drunk and fell asleep. It continues with Dizzy's mother secretly taking Dizzy away from her original home and bringing her to her mother's hometown. The funniest part was when Dizzy wanted to say farewell to her father and he just replied by snoring and muttering,"Oh no problem. Be back shortly SNORE."

Title: Harry Potter and the Philosopher's stone
ReplyDeleteAuthor: J.K.Rowling
Favorite scene: At the end of the book, Harry Potter met Quirrell (possessed by voldemort), who had Voldemort's face on the back of his head. Voldemort told Harry that he could only form when somebody is willing to let him use his body. He also stated that he used Quirrell's body to drink unicorn blood to strengthen himself. Then Harry tried to run with the philosopher's stone in his pocket, but Quirrell used a spell they pulled him back. Harry used his palm to grab Quirrell's face and his face burned. He was lying on the ground with pain which enabled Harry to escape. Harry had succeeded!

Title: Urgum the Axe Man
ReplyDeleteAuthor: Kjartan Poskitt
Favourite scene: The best part was when Urgum finished digging underground through the toilet and came up to the surface. He then took his mighty axe and charged towards the tax collectors. He swung his axe around, raining deadly and merciless blows on the defenceless tax collectors. He chopped their arms and wrists off, damage their spears and swords while they were frantically trying to escape. This gruesome and bloody fight made Urgum live up to his reputation as the most savage warrior and axeman in the desert...

The best part was when Imhrat Khan told Henry Sugar that his training to see with his eyes closed took 15 years.

Favourite scene from the book: My favourite scene was when it was Mrs Starch's lesson. Her presence scared everyone and Marta even felt like vomiting. Then Mrs Starch asked the class delinquent, Smoke, a question which he failed to answer as he was distracted by a pimple on his neck. She demanded a five hundred word essay on pimples from him at the end of the week. The whole class was shocked when Smoke refused to write the essay and threatened Mrs Starch instead.
