Can you write a review?

We’ve been given a very special task this week as we’ve been asked by Readathon to review a sample chapter from the book ‘The Last Wild’ by Piers Torday. We’ve all had a great time being professional reviewers and have been keen to express exactly how we felt about the chapter.

Have any of you seen a film, been to a performance or sports event, listened to some music or read a book over Christmas? Perhaps you could blog a review here?

About the Author
  1. Lydia

    You might not believe this, but I only watched the first Hunger Games last week. I loved it! I hope to get really into the Hunger Games and read all of the books. Also I want to watch the newest film, Catching Fire, because people are always talking about it. 🙂

    We watched Gansta granny on boxing day by David Walliams and it was amazing especialy because David Walliams and Miranda Hart were both featured in it.

  4. Morgan

    I got a Tablet for Christmas it a kobo arc. This was probaly my best gift,also I have downloded lots of really cool games like FIFA 14 and Clash of clans and loads of other epic games.

  5. Amira

    I reccomend, The Hunger Games Catching Fire. It’s full of death, gore and it’s action packed with different events.

    I also reccomend the books too but if you want a quicker way of knowing the story then the movie is the best choice. The movie is one I could watch millions of times and I would not be bored of it. To sum it up in 3 words, they would be: Interesting, Unique and Clever. You’d have to watch it to know how amazing it is because I can’t describe it well enough.

    I got the Diary of a wimpy kid book. I really enjoyed this book because its funny and tells you how to deal with life, at the back it has games that i like trying to play like a board game,what you should do by the time your 50 and getting to see your future, involving what your job is, how many kids you have and what pets you have.

  23. devnara

    i saw walking with dinosours at the cinema and I also watched the hobbit.They were both great!my faveourite is walking with dinosours but the hobbit was amazing too.

  24. Martha

    I would reccomend a series of unfortunate events because it is full of new words and phrases that are really powerful and are very good for using in writing.

    A series of unfortunate events are full of crime , fortunes and a very wicked man called Count Olaf.I would widely reccomend this book to anybody who likes crimes.

  25. Max.P

    On New Years Eve I went to see a football match in Manchester. It was Manchester United VS Tottenham Hotspur, and I was supporting Manchester. We had seats right at the top, and I could see everything. The view was absolutely outstanding, and luckily it only rained on the pitch, not us. before the match we bought some drinks and watched a different match on TV in the waiting area. My favorite part was definitely when I arrived in Manchester, and could see the whole breathtaking stadium. Lots of people in a different stand started singing a lot, and it was really loud. I think nearly everybody hated the referee after the match (except the Tottenham fans). I will DEFINITELY watch a match there again.

  26. Ellie.P

    I have been reading The Hunger Games Catching Fire over Christmas and I absolutely love it!! I haven’t gotten far only to about chapter 4 but I must say it’s one of the best books I’ve read! I’m really into post-apocalyptic kind of books since reading the Hunger Games I could recommend it to any action and tragedy book lover!!

  27. Euan

    I watched Gangster Granny at Christmas and i recommend it because its a funny but sad film but the best bit was when they went to steal the crown jewels

  28. Caleb

    I went to see Cinderella (the ballet)(at Leeds theatre for my Mum’s Birthday (26 Dec)on the 27 of December it was very good (one bit was extremely funny).

  29. indie

    I also got to go back stage and I met Ann Emery from rentaghost. I got a signed program
    and it was so good.
