Alice’s adventures in wonderland is a fantastic book written by Lewis Carroll which was released in
1865. It has 200 pages and is great for all ages.
The book follows Alice’s story of following a white rabbit who leads her to falling down a strange
rabbit hole and finding herself in a marvellous world. Throughout the book we meet many weird and
wonderful characters in which Carroll describes in a fascinating way, we discover the way they look
and act in great detail. My favourite characters have to the mad hatter and the Cheshire cat, purely
for their behaviour. We feel as if we are hand in hand on her wild journey through wonderland.
I would definitely recommend this book too many people of all ages as it’s not too long or
complicated. This book defiantly provokes many thoughts and Carroll’s way of writing grips you so
it’s almost impossible to lose interest.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
The book that I read was one that was very enjoyable to read , it starts off
quite boring first , but as soon as he gets the final golden ticket , it gets better
and better when you’re reading it. Also , it is every kids dream to get what
Charlie Bucket. It was written by Roald Dahl in 1964 , it was illustrated by
Michael Foreman. You could say that Charlie And The Chocolate Factory was
Roald Dahl best selling book ever.
The main person in the book is a little boy called Charlie Bucket , Charlie is a
young boy who lives in a very bad condition , his family is very poor and he
lives with both his mom and dads parents , his mom , his dad. Charlie then gets
a shock of a lifetime when he opens up a bar of chocolate and gets the 5 th and
final golden ticket which means him and a family member get a once in a
lifetime chance to go into Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory and look around the
whole of the place and all the chocolate is free.
Charlie And The Chocolate Factory is a Kids/ adventurous book which people at
all ages could acceptably read.
Altogether , the book isn’t the hardest to read. However , if you are extremely
young then I wouldn’t recommend that you read it as you may struggle on
some of the long words that are in the book.

Danger is everywhere!
Danger is everywhere!
The book "Danger is everywhere" is a very comedic book, that shows you dangers that wouldn't and/or couldn't be phyisicaly possible. It also gives you advice on how to avoid certain things, like "You must ask yourself, is this cute kitten going to grow up to be a tiger or lion?!". It advises you to have the most boring of pets you can possibly think of; a rock. In fact, the docter ( That is the spelling of doctor in the book) had lost 1 pet rock on a rocky beach. Another thing that was funny is when he says at the start of the book "I was working as a life
guard at a local swimming pool and i finally realised that makes swimming pools dangeross; WATER! So i drank all the water." That couldn't be possible, as that amount of water would cause kidney failure, resulting in death. He also comes up with a plan on how to stay safe in a Supermarket, where he constantly blows a whisle to attract family members and everyone in there...
i would recomend this book to anyone who wants to avoid danger is weird and wonderful ways, however don't try them at home, as you can get seriously injured, or become dead.

A Christmas Carol Review
A Christmas Carol is a book which combines the beloved fantasy aspect of Christmas with the reality of the harsh experiences of life in a winter of the 19th century. The book varies tone from beginning to end, as the reader is lead by Dickens to experience loathing and love for the character Scrooge. Scrooge's personality progresses from the cold bitter man he is presented as at the beginning of the book, to the joyful, loved man whose generosity is admired by many. The heart- warming tale can be a difficult read for younger readers, as few may not understand the antiquated language. However, many have became aware of the beloved tale due to the numerous films presented to the public in the festive season.
Whilst reading the book, it is apparent to the reader that Dickens continues the unchanged features of the characters. He also uses emotive language so that the reader is enabled to feel empathy for characters such as Tim Cratchit and the poor beggars for charity who appeared near the beginning of the book. There is also pity in the first stave where it is apparent that Scrooge is afraid of the ghost of which beholds him, Jacob Marley's ghost. The gripping tale made me, the reader, to feel an unexpected pity for scrooge as if I were in his shoes I would dislike the candle-lite atmosphere and the threat of spirits which always remained a close ultimatum.
My personal favourite characters are: the Clerk/ Bob Crachit, Scrooge's nephew and last but not least the ghost of Christmas present. The Clerk began as one of my favourite characters from the beginning of the novella as I felt pity on him and I experienced joy for him when he left his disgruntled work place and had time to spend with his family on Christmas day. The reader is compelled to feel pity for the Clerk as he is the underdog in the workplace as experiences harsh emotions from Scrooge himself. Scrooge’s nephew continues throughout the book to feel compelled to always have an open heart for Scrooge and giving him a place to go even when others didn’t believe he could change, Scrooge’s nephew did not lose faith in Scrooge. Finally, my last favourite character is the ghost of Christmas present. He creates a jolly environment for Scrooge and creates the impression on the reader of a loving character and also reminds Scrooge of a time when he was happy.
Whilst reading the book it made me smile as Scrooge’s personality changed, it also made me smile at the start of the book as Scrooge’s character will answer to Scrooge or Marley, this shows how Marley and Scrooge were very close.
Overall the book was spectacular as Dickens ways of developing characters made the reader feel compelled to express their emotions, whether its a small smile or a long weep, Dickens successfully managed to allow the characters to grow and also made them feel real by using the conditions of the 19th century and also peoples views and characters at the time to his own advantage for the novella. Out of five I would rate the book a 4.5, as the characters develop spectacularly; However the book was slightly confusing, especially to a younger reader.
